Meeting Sarita

When I visited Lalgadh Leprosy Hospital for Easter 2014 I was blessed to meet some beautiful people. I know I have made friends for life as a result of my time spend there. One of the ladies I met was Sarita, she was part of the outreach team who travelled with us to the remote villages. On these trips she preformed many tasks, one of which was introducing us to the villagers, helping to translate and share their stories.

I also spent time with her in the small jewellery making workshop which she manages. She provides training and support for people in a similar situation to her own. Sarita, seen here on the left,  is a very warm, confident and outgoing person but this was not always the case.
