Leprosy Colony
Thanks to some money we brought over from Scotland we were able to buy 4 big sacks of rice for the leprosy colony. This will provide them with food for a few days. There is around about 250 people who live in this community and in order to survive they must beg for food and money in the surrounding towns and in the city of Chennai.
We went with Capt. Thacker and met Sebastian and few other people from Mount Zion Church at the colony. The rice was handed over and a short service took place.
A medical team from another church were also at the colony at the same time and they were treating minor medical needs.

when we first pulled up at the leprosy colony i was very catious to get out the car. I know leprosy is not contageous but i was still thinking of silly little was that i could catch it. So we got out the car and i was very aprehensive we dropped off the rice and had a small service and said our goodbyes. When we got back into the car i started thinking more about the amount of people. 250. Also these people have nothing hardly any food and no money. They have to go in to Chennai to beg for money to buy food. it was quite upsetting really.
