This podcast contains stories of people we've met during our work with The Leprosy Mission. The Leprosy Mission Australia works with people with leprosy, other neglected tropical diseases and disabilities.&nbsp; They are often the most marginalised, vulnerable and hidden from the rest of society.&nbsp; We run health improvement projects, often in rural and remote villages where we get to meet many people who have amazing life experiences to share. Yes, leprosy is still a thing but it doesn't have to be. &nbsp; If you want to learn more, please visit: https://stillathing.org
