Black and white photograph showing Miss Stephens, a nurse at the Ama Achara hospital in southeast Nigeria. Miss Stephens sits with two Nigerian small children on her knee, next to a Nigerian nurse, Bernadine. Bernadine holds another two children on her knee. The group sit in the grounds of the Ama Achara hospital. The Ama Achara hospital took in many motherless and abandoned babies, especially twin babies who were considered an ill omen in traditional Nigerian culture. This photograph was pasted into one of a series of exercise book albums created by Emily Godfrey, Matron of the Ama Achara Methodist Hospital.
