This day in NZ history in 1944 CORSO was formed.

As the Second World War drew towards an end, people realised that a massive aid effort would be required to rehabilitate war-torn nations.

While fighting continued overseas, a group of New Zealanders concerned with the provision of aid met and decided to join forces as the Council of Organisations for Relief Service Overseas (CORSO).
