Round the World Gift #nn

"Round the World Gift" is a 1944 wartime educational comic depicting the global relief work of the National War Fund and its member agencies. Through a narrator's account of flights and travels across multiple continents, the story illustrates how organizations like the USO, United Seamen's Service, and various national relief societies deliver aid to Allied soldiers, refugees, and civilians in war-devastated regions—from Yugoslavia and Poland to Russia, China, and beyond. The narrative emphasizes the interconnected nature of American charitable giving, showing how donations support entertainerment for troops in the Pacific, medical supplies for sick children, food for starving populations, and equipment that enables both military personnel and civilians to survive and resist Nazi and Japanese aggression. The final pages include an explanation of the National War Fund's three-fold mission and list its member agencies, presenting the comic as both inspirational storytelling and a call to community support.
