    #1 no no....i gave these kids some money to take their picture. One should then be prepared to give them each the same amount. One didn't like that he got only 1 rupee and another didn't know what to do with 2 Euros! The older one hopefully will know how to divide the 10 rupees among them.

    Dore And Lebele Hahn

    In 1906 two sisters (15 and 16 respectively) were so excited to be heading back to India with their parents. They'd been away for 11 years studying in Germany. It was their father who worried the most about if they would find sufficient finishing an education for them in what they called Der Reich (British Raj) that would equip them for the
    mission work ahead.
    Picture
    Bye and bye arrangements were made to send the two young ladies, Dora and Libele, to Mussoorie to attend the newly formed Teacher Training College at Woodstock School.
    Picture
    Dorchien (Dora according to school records) struggled and just barely passed the Fine Arts program in December 1911. Libchein (recorded as Elizabeth at the school) passed with excellence in the Missionary Training Program in the same year.
    They each worked at various posts and then joined forces teaching in Ranchi until all German citizens were required to leave India in 1915 due to World War 1.
