Orphanages - 1950-1954

By the beginning of 2004 we had collected information, stories and photographs on over 300 different orphanages. We are unsure just how many because the same orphanage often was referred to in the articles and stories by slightly different names and, on occasion, we found the same name being used for different institutions.

The first item on this list of articles is a document that provides the names of orphanages sustained, in part, by the Christian Children's Fund of Richmond, Virginia. Mr. William F. Asbury, now residing in Olympia, Washington State, prepared this list in March of 1954. His extensive report on the condition of orphanages in Korea in 1953 and their relationship to the US military follows as document number two. Following that are articles that appeared in the Pacific Stars & Stripes during those years that deal with military aid to the orphanages.
