ORPHANAGE APPEAL
‘‘Encouraging” Response
The response to an appeal for funds to rebuild the Christchurch-sponsored orphanage in Kunsan, South Korea, had so far been most encouraging and it was intended to incorporate Christchurch in the name of the orphanage, the Canterbury representative of the Korean Orphan scheme (Mr T. W. B. Clarke) said in a recent statement. Donations total $2OOO. The incorporation of Christchurch in the name would be a permanent reminder of the concern of Christchurch citizens for Korea's underprivileged children, he said. Donations include: $5OO, Christchurch Jaycees Overseas Aid Committee; $250, Christchurch Round Table No. 1 International Relations Committee: $lOO, Mr R. B. Miller, Christchurch Catholic Overseas Aid Committee, Christchurch Municipal Electricity Department, Kirkwood Intermediate School: $5O, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Christchurch (the Most Rev. B. P. Ashby) and two anonymous donors.
