The past year has been particularly difficult for the people of Myanmar. In addition to the Covid-19 epidemic, the daily consequences of the violent military takeover have been affecting the entire population for almost a year. The heroic efforts of our staff deserve every recognition! We are happy to be in the country with our support from Hungary and to help those suffering from leprosy, poverty, oppression and epidemic.
Father Damien
Today marks the 135th anniversary of the death of Father Damien, a Belgian-born Roman Catholic priest and missionary who died of leprosy on Molokai Island, Hawaii.
