Baby Bertie: A Heartwarming Journey of Growth and Hope from the Barnardo Sunshine Home This charming postcard captures the image of Baby Bertie, a sunshine baby from the Barnardo Homes charity, which was dedicated to the care and wellbeing of orphaned and vulnerable children during the 1910s. The Barnardo Homes, founded by Thomas Barnardo in 1866, aimed to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children in need, giving them a chance to thrive and grow. In this photograph, Baby Bertie is depicted as a plump and happy toddler, dressed in shorts and playing with a toy train on the lush, green grass. The sunshine in his name reflects the optimistic and hopeful outlook that the Barnardo Homes instilled in their children. The warmth and care provided by the charity allowed children like Baby Bertie to grow and develop into healthy, happy individuals. The Barnardo Sunshine Babies were a particular focus of the charity, with the organization taking in and caring for infants and young children who were orphaned or abandoned. The Sunshine Homes, as they were called, were designed to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for these young children, ensuring they received the love, care, and education they deserved. This postcard serves as a poignant reminder of the important work that the Barnardo Homes did in caring for orphaned and vulnerable children during the 1910s. It also highlights the joy and hope that these children experienced, despite their challenging beginnings. The image of Baby Bertie, with his toy train and bright smile, is a testament to the transformative power of love, care, and support, and the impact it can have on a child's life.
