You may select your own child from the pic­ tures herein and become a sponsor of one of these dear Korean orphan children. (You may ask a friend to be co-sponsor with you— $4 each). Each child has a heartbreaking story. For instance, number 1-E Kim Soon Han was bom March 25, 1948. His father, a farmer, was conscripted as a laborer at the front lines dur­ ing the Korean war and was killed in 1951. Later his mother was bombed to death!

Soon Han had no choice but to beg for food and rags of cloth­ ing, sleep under bridges, in R.R. stations or under the stars. How, while suffering indescrib­ ably from hunger, exposure and loneliness, this child man­ aged to stay alive for years, no one will ever know.

pennies a day—you or your Sunday School, Bible Class, Junior Church, Ladies Group, etc., will help bring Christ to your chosen boy or girl and train him to be a Christian leader in Korea.

Over 6 million meals are served each year. Many more children are in desperate need, homeless, ragged and hungry. Help us expand our 65 Homes. Each one is a real Christian institution.
