You’re brave enough for even visiting a place like that, not many people would even care and dare to show their face in there, I for sure too… Indeed i totally agree with you, the nuns and people like them are the real heroes who chose to serve unnamed and anonymous to public…

I went on a tour to visit the leper site on the Molokai island of Hawaii and hearing the story and picking up the literature about the Roman Catholic Priest, Father Damien that spent his life taking care of the people taken to that island to die of leprosy. He died April 15, 1889 at age 49 after contracting the decease himself.
I Thank God, that it can be cured with some easy now!

Meaningful inititatives exist everywhere huamn beings choose to look. Leading a productive life begins with a state of mind and an altrustic heart.

Wow. Only God and His spirit could propel someone into work like that. And that’s what you really saw there, after the initial shock and revulsion.

I admire those volunteers. I know I can’t do that but I want to at least contribute something to ease the pain of the patients. Leprosy can be classified with cancer and other illnesses as it eats you while you’re alive. Slowly but surely.

Some people are just born caretakers. They come in very humbly and do ANYTHING that is necessary to care for someone. Taking care of lepers is what always impressed me about Mother Teresa.

I wholeheartedly agree with you about the true heroes of the world . . . this is an inspirational account of your experiences . . . I have had the good fortune of knowing Christian Fathers and Sisters . . . they were unbelievable men and women . . . being with them for a minute is enough for us to realise that there is still some hope left for humanity in this world . . .

I applaud you for your bravery and having had the opportunity to see first hand and witness unselfishness in action. You must be a rather special person to be able to visit such a place. I know of some people who does tireless work without the thought of any reward whatsoever but for their need to be able to contribute with whatever they can. It is amazing. These are the very people that makes the world a better place. Thank you for a wonderful post.

I’ve read pages in the bible telling stories about people with leprosy but I never really did know what it really looked like.After my health class the other day,I haven’t stopped thinking about it.I couldn’t eat or sleep right.

Then,I read this.

It’s amazing how people could be so compassionate,even to people they hardly even know.Especially if the person they’re trying to help might be the cause of sickness or worse,their demise.

This story gave a huge impact on my perspective.Just like your other stories.Like what nectarfizz said,keep on writing things like these.They could change the world. =]
