John gave us an informative presentation on the history of The Leprosy Mission and on the nature of this debilitating disease which has so much stigma associated with it.  He also gave us a spirited account of his trip to India, working for the Mission, where they have 12 hospitals specialising in the treatment of the disease and a college that provides vocational training for people disabled by leprosy.
