Albanians travel far for American help. Carrying their sick children on their backs this Albanian mother and father walked for three days all the way from their mountain hut in Liabinoi to the Junior Red Cross of America hospital clinic in Elbasan medical treatment and clean clothing from America were given them before they started on their weary journey back. At the clinic particular stress is laid on instruction to all mothers regarding hygiene and simple health rules for their anemic delicate children
