Jadwiga Dźwiniel in Tengeru, Africa
Polish refugee children in a camp in Tangeru, Tanzania, take part in choir practice in front of a dormitory. The roof was covered in banana tree leaves or elephant grass, which were chomped by termites day and night. Jadwiga Dźwiniel (front row, 9th from right, next to girl holding song sheet) eventually joined her sisters in New Zealand.
