“Leprosy?

What is this 40 BC?”

I visited a lepers’ village on the Amazon River in 2006. Ugly disease.

Why did they stop the Leper Hockey Game?

There was a face off in the corner.

My first time back to Việt Nam I went with my parish priest. He had and still has his personal mission to aid the "outside villages" i.e. leper colonies in that country. He had the backing of a group of wealthy widows and somehow managed to get 100 to 300 thousand dollars into the country every couple of years. When I went with him the police surveillance was much more intense than now and I acted as a decoy for him. We stayed at his parents' house in Cam Đức and I would go out of the house at daybreak and he would leave by the back door 15 minutes later. so the bộ đội assigned to follow the foreigner followed me as I walked about the town while Father went off to the làng ngoài- leper towns where he brought them or arranged for food and medical supplies.
