 STORY:

These tongs are named for an orphaned girl who was discovered fending for herself by doing chores for neighbours while caring for a dying grandmother. Adopted into a loving family, she was given the chance to go to school. There she earned her nickname “the nurse” by caring for sick classmates. Today she has qualifications in nursing and works with children in schools!
