Pounds of Textbooks Donated to Korean
Mossshosa ©_
The rebuilding of Korean
schools, sponsored by the CMU
Korean Orphanage Project, received a healthy boost when
4000 pounds of textbooks were
given to the program.
The books, donated by schools
from Redford Township, Wayne,
Mt. Clemens and Dearborn,
were unloaded last week at the
South Food Commons. The
Great Lakes Express shipped
them from the Detroit area to
Mt. Pleasant, free of charge.
Korean Project chairman Ric
Cooper, Reed City senior, said
that Korea lost 70% of its
schools and 50% of its teachers
in the Korean War. A major effort is now going on in the war-
torn country to get the schools
on their feet again.
The textbooks are, of course,
written in English, but the Orphans have learned to read the
language. They will use the
books not only for learning the
subjects contained in them, but
also as an aid to improve their
English.
The books, which took two
and one-half hours to unload,
are being stored in the basement of the South Food Commons until they are shipped to
Korea, along with another 4000
pounds of books previously collected.
