Seoul's Shoe-Shine Boys School
Caption Description
Seoul's Shoe-Shine Boys School (officially known as the Seoul's Vocational Boys School) was-started in 1952 by Pvt. Kwon Ung Pal, a young Korean transferred from a combat unit to help round-up beggar boys and put down thieving.
Kwon soon found out that punishing the boys did not help, and he started to teach them songs and simple lessons. The group grew rapidly and Kwon organized a primary school, which is now housed in tents and makeshift buildings on land belonging to the Korean Soldiers and Police Orphanage. Some 670 children now attend the school; they all are shoe-shine boys, street vendors, newsboys, messengers, etc. Help came to the school from volunteers of the U.N. Women's Guild, in the form of $10 ,000 worth of UNESCO gift coupons to equip a workshop, and from UNKRA, which added $5,000 worth of building materials to this sum.
This picture shows Kwon Ung Pal, now a Sergeant in the Korean National Police with no other duties than caring for the boys and the school, starting an evening class.
