Custom Shoes for the Lepers
Lepers’ feet are deformed. They cannot wear shoes that are sold at the stores
A Leper Weaves
A leper, without fingers, struggled but gladly weaved day after days. It took her a month to make a small sash
A Letter to The Friends of DLS, July 2011
Most of the lerpers are homeless, and without food and proper sanitation; they have no future. Their pain and suffering has no end. Their feet have been so crippled that they cannot walk, and their hands have been so deformed that they cannot touch or even scratch an itch. They are voiceless; their lives are not much different than if they were dead.

The lepers suffer incredible pain in their body and their joints. However at the extremities, they don’t have a lot of sensation.
Leprosy Relief Mission in Vietnam
