Leprosy
Brazil is second, after
India, for the total number of cases of
leprosy in the world. In 2003, there were nearly 50,000 new cases
of leprosy detected in the country. Several million Brazilians
live in favelas today. The situation in the favelas, with people
living
in cramped quarters, are ideal for the transmission of the disease.
I am going to paste a picture here of one of our pastors that is a leper.
