Thursday's Child Had Far to Go

Training Indian village children to look after buffaloes, instructing girls to use a sewing machine, running adult literacy classes for rural women - Did Betty Robinson in her Youth Employment Office in Dunfermline in the 1950s and 1960s realise where her application for missionary training with the London Missionary Society would take her? Three years of missionary training did not prepare her for that. A buffalo and a sewing machine can literally save a village and give its children a future. Then romance and marriage to a fellow Scot, Leslie Robinson, General Surgeon and Medical Superintendent at the Church of South India's hospital in Chickballapur, Karnataka.
