Three defining years in a long life /

Utilizing her excellent memory and the letters she had written to her parents (which her mother saved), Margaret recollects 1933-1936 as the most defining years of her life. She arrived in The Lower East Side of New York City in August of 1933, in the midst of the Great Depression, and spent the next three years living in the Church of All Nations Settlement House while studying for a Masters Degree in Religious Education at Teachers College at Columbia University. Her work with the children who lived in the Church of All Nations defined her life's work with nonprofit organizations in Mexico, Peru and the United States.--From the P.E.O. website.
