She was so appalled by what was happening in Austria as a result of the First World War and what was happening to children who were part of the defeated families of Austria, that in Britain she wanted to take action, but she had to go house to house, leaflet to leaflet, to get people to attend a rally in the Royal Albert Hall that eventually gave birth to Save the Children, an international organization that is now fully recognized as one of the great institutions in our land and in the world.
Ela estava tão horrorizada com o que estava a acontecer na Áustria depois da Primeira Guerra Mundial, e o que estava acontecendo com as crianças que faziam parte das famílias austríacas derrotadas, que quis tomar medidas na Grã-Bretanha, mas teve de ir de casa em casa, de folheto a folheto, para conseguir com que as pessoas participassem num comício no Royal Albert Hall que eventualmente se transformou no Save the Children, uma organização internacional que é hoje inteiramente reconhecida como uma das grandes instituições do nosso país e do mundo.
