  • Resumen

  • The Leprosy Mission Australia works with people with leprosy, other neglected tropical diseases and disabilities. They are the most marginalised and poorest of the poor. People often hidden from the rest of society.

    Their lives might be completely difference to people living in Australia, but they also have amazing life experiences worth sharing. As staff of The Leprosy Mission Australia, we want to uncover what is hidden and share with you the lives of the people we meet throughout our work.

    This podcast contains stories about people we've meet during our work who have shared their life journeys with us.

    'I heard that they give free food and let you stay for free at Anandaban Hospital. You should just stay there. Don’t come back home, it bothers all of us and you no longer have a place here.'
    This was a conversation Leprosy Mission staff overheard between Sultan and his family. Home is often where your family and loved ones are, but what happens when they no longer want you because you have leprosy?
    Multiple misdiagnoses, a toe falling off from infections and a fearful community has left Sultan without a place to call home.

    Taking him to the hospital, the family was told to abandon his treatment as he would not live for much longer. However, his mother went against this advice and 12 years later, Ayush continues to be a thriving, curious boy.
