GOLDEN OLDIE Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 When I was at a Catholic primary school in the late 1940s/ early 50s we used to take money to school for the 'little black babies' in Africa. No idea what the charity was. Also can anyone remember 'Sunny Smiles?' I believe they were children in orphanages. You paid the money and were rewarded with a picture of the child of your choice!

Joto Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I remember 'Sunny Smiles' where I worked in 1959 a girl there always had a book full of these orphan's. You donated money and she tore the picture of your choice and gave it to you. To be honest she was that crazy about baby's she bought most of them herself.

Plain Talker Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 We had the sunny smiles books at the primary school I went to, as well. You'd go round your neighbours and relatives, "selling" the pictures out of the book, like raffle tickets to collect funds to support the "needy" children.
