The CARE programme in France: Distribution of SWAN soap to school children

Image
From 11 May 1946 onwards, France receives emergency aid packages from the United States under the CARE (Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe) programme. The photo shows nuns distributing American soap to young school children. On the chalkboard we can read the words: ‘Vive nos amis les Américains!’ (Long live our American friends!).
