Dear all,
Forgive a personal note in a work space.
As a small child I lived in India. When we went shopping in the market we would pass folk begging, many with the terrible signs and scars of leprosy. As a child I would stare, fascinated by the lost finger-tips and toes, until hurried along
by my parents. Leprosy is decreasing but still all too common. Campaigning information can be seen here:

All the best,
Richard
