Another shot of the English class conducted by Sherwood Marin, who comes from Seattle.
Down in the valley, which adjoins the village of Kungyangjang-ni, there now is an irrigation dam designed by James Schorschmidt of Longview, Wash., the third member of the Houses for Korea CCDP team. It was built with local labor under Mr. Schorshmidt's direction.
Close-up the dam's flood gate.
A long shop of the reservoir and dam. This reservoir irrigates all the paddy fields in the valley.
This CCDP team takes a hand at many communities. Here Mr. Martin holds an open-air English class for high-school boys and girls. Classes are also held for adults and school teachers.

Front view of the new house. When completed and equipped it will accommodate a larger clinic and provide living quarters for the Community Co-ordinated Development Project team.
Channels are dug to allow hot air from the kitchen stove to circulate under the floor -- the traditional Korean ondol heating system.
The clinic has more patients than it can handle, and another house must be built to accommodate the overflow. Cement-and-earth blocks pressed in one of the UNKRA-imported Landcrete machines are used to build it cheaply and quickly. Sherwood Martin of House for Korea helps to mix the plaster--a mixture of cement and mud--which is used to cover the earth blocks.
Pappasan has his turn. The doctor checks an infected eye.
