The Sunflower Conversations

Chris Stratta from The Leprosy Missions is our guest this week on the podcast to educate us about how Leprosy, a curable disease often associated with stigma, affects thousands globally today. This episode explores its symptoms, the challenges those diagnosed face, and the critical role of education in combatting fear and discrimination.

We discuss the importance of early detection and treatment to eradicate Leprosy, which is found in countries with poor sanitation and nutrition.

Education is crucial in fostering kind and supportive communities so people affected by leprosy can live full lives.
