Physiotherapist From Chch
Miss C. Shepheard, a Christchurch physiotherapist who has been working with the Mission to Lepers’ second surgical team in New Guinea, since May last year, will leave soon to work in Indonesia at a new centre which is being set up by the New Zealand and Australian auxiliaries of the mission.
Before going to Indonesia she will spend three months from the beginning of October in Thailand receiving further training. The Christchurch area sec retary of the mission (Miss M. G. Titheridge) said that
in Indonesia Miss Shepheard would be responsible mainly for the training of national and missionary workers in the techniques of leprosy aid and physiotherapy. Some of the money from the mission’s appeal in Christchurch tomorrow would be used to support this new work, she said. Final plans for the centre could not be made, however, until a surgeon was found. Miss Shepheard, who was educated at the Christchurch Girls’ High School, trained as a physiotherapist in Dunedin. She worked for two years as a physiotherapist in Nelson before going to the Bible Training Institute in Auckland for two years. She was at the Christchurch Hospital for a year before going overseas.

Coulter), and the captain of the Christchurch Arawa Canoeing Club (Mr C. Cook).
