As a result of a gift of $16,000 from the UN Women's Guild, UNKRA has erected four more buildings at the National Rehabilitation Centre at Tongnae, Korea, for a children's section which includes a kitchen, bath house, physiotherapy room and dormitories, all equipped with this money. (As of now, since the establishment of the Centre, UNKRA has allocated $612,780 to repair and expand the buildings, to install modern prosthetic equipment and to start vocational training courses; it also sent a team of rehabilitation experts). At present the Centre has 200 veterans and 56 civilian patients. A choice of 14 vocational training courses make it possible for everyone to find a trade suited to his abilities.) -- This picture, taken in the Centre's physiotherapy room, shows a Korean nurse helping two of her youngest patients, both polio victims, to crawl up a ramp.
