One hundred and twenty-five years old and still going strong. The Leprosy Mission, supported by many of you (to the tune of over £200,000 in 1998), continues to create new hope for patients like Nashik Rao, whose claw hand so distressed him that he tried to kill himself. Now cured and with successful surgery, Nashik qualifies this year as a printer and speaks of his future with self worth and hope.

For more of the Leprosy Mission story, why not ask for a visit to your group, school or church. My camera saw lots of hope on a recent visit to India and the slides are still fresh, just waiting for an audience! Telephone me on 01924 360669.
