Lepra is a kind of diesese and all your bones in your body weaken and your hands got all floppy and your fingers and toes hang over. It is not very nice, but these things can happen to people in poor conditions. Every bit of your money helps them. 40p can help save 50 peoples lives. £4.00 would help 1000 people lives.
