Description
Black and white lantern slide showing a group of Indian girls in smock dresses in a posed group standing in front of a tree on the land of Regions Beyond Missionary Union in Motihari, Bihar, India. The girls are probably resident in a mission children's home. The caption to the slide reads: Motihari. Sifani in front." This slide comes from a collection created by missionaries from Regions Beyond Missionary Union, an interdenominational Protestant evangelical mission working in northeast India (Bihar and Orissa) and Nepal.
