Hae Kyung lives in Sung iNam in the Republic of Korea ;and is in her second year at ‘primary school where she studies Korean, arithmetic, lsocial life, nature. music. fart, sports and morals. Her father, Kim Deuk ,Y'oon, was an unemployed farnier when he died of tubâ€" erculosis in 1969. Her mother, Kirn Bok Scon, is a vegetable seller Her oldest brother, Kim Hong Kee. 18, is disabled and cannot work. Her other brother, Kim chg Suk, 13, works as a lclerk. STREET VENDOR Mrs. Kim earns about $25 a month selling greens in ,the street. The family eats dishes of barley at breakfast iand noodles at lunch and supper. They take greens ias side-dishes, but can hard- ly afford fish or meat. Their living unit consists of one small hot-floored room six by seven feet. It has a tiled roof and block ‘walls and is situated on high lland in a slum area. The ifamily pays $4 a month for lrent. They get their water .from a public well. i The Foster Parents Social 3Worker Park Soon Kook re- ,ports Hae Kyung is an aver- iage student. bright and pretty. Her favorite subject is arithmetic.

Vocational training courses are available to foster child- ren, their brothers and sis-V ters, and in some cases, their parents. The aim is to give the family the tools to help them become independent and self-supporting. Spec- ial prcgrams adapted to the needs of each country also meet these aims. MONTHLY LETTERS FOster parents and foster children correspond monthly lletters are translatedl and cftcn develop warm and af- fectionate relationships which mean as much to the child as the material‘and financial aid. As a veteran foster par- ent, Mrs. Honey says some foster children are better correspondents than others. “Aren't we all?" she laughed. There is a time-factor, too. It is often two months from the time a letter leaves the home of the foster parent, is translated and relayed to the foster child, answered, trans- lated and relayed to the fos- ter child, answered, trans- lated and returned to the foster parent.
