WORLD HEALTH DAY, WHICH WILL BE OBSERVED TODAY, draws attention to the World Health Organisation's campaign for the prevention of blindness and the welfare and education of the blind. This photograph, supplied by the World Health Organisation, shows a happy group of blind Japanese children in Kobe. One of their teachers, a sculptor, helps his pupils to have confidence and to pursue a purpose through art. At first his efforts to share his art with the children met with failure. Afraid of ridicule, they destroyed or hid their creations, but later startlingly-expressive mouldings from clay were created. The children shown are laughing at one of the teacher’ sallies.
