The Committee volnteers were assigned a village to work with. They were to meet the villagers and aaseess the situatiom of the village as well as the special needs of the familiesin the village. Important here was wether or not the family was intact. And if the father was present and capable of supporting the family. When American City began working in Picardy, the War was still being fought and many fathers were at the front. The War ended (Novemner 1918). Fathers and other male familh members bedgan returning home. In adiitiin to the War deaths, there were large numbers of wounded soldiers who were not capable of supporting thair families, especially at first untl they recovered. Many never recovered. All of this has to be assessed. This involved getting to know the villagers and conducting home visits. Here there was a special concern with the children. The volunteers all spoke French and many developed very close relations with the villigers.
