Lepra.

Help us support vulnerable people to live with fairness and dignity Dear  All , Welcome to our Autumn issue of Lepra News which highlights Lepra's work on rights and inclusion with an introduction from Programmes and Advocacy Director, Becks Hill.  Read a special report on the International Leprosy Congress from Maria del Mar Marais, Senior Programmes Manager.  We pay homage to the incredible people who step up to provide support and care for loved ones under the most difficult circumstances. Hear how 13-year-old Toufik cares for his parents, both affected by leprosy.  Also included this issue: The launch of Lepra historian, Irene Allen's book, 'From BELRA to Lepra', reflecting on the charity's rich 100-year history Lepra's charity partnership with Cambridge University's Hindu Cultural Society. And one year on from our BBC Radio 4 Appeal, we look at the impact of the inspiring campaign. Please read the latest issue here: Following on with our inclusion theme, we recently asked senior members of Lepra Society, what inclusion means to them... What does inclusion mean to you? I hope that you enjoy reading our latest issue of Lepra News. Your continued support is helping us to raise awareness of these forgotten diseases, and to raise vital funds to allow us to address their physical, social and emotional impact.
