Day with the Leper Colony, Magiri Sudan
(Photos captured from video of the day)
|
| We met outside of a small mud church. The leper community usually meets here to pray and sing. |
|
| We brought blankets, dresses, pots, and soap for the community. Most of the people were extremely grateful, although a couple of the women didn't like the color of dress they received... |
|
| Some of the women who gathered. |
|
| A young man that came. Many of the men of Sudan have been killed, leaving behind numerous widows and orphans. |
|
| After we handed out the goods, the crowd erupted into dance and singing to show their appreciation. The women and men came to shake our hands and dance with us. |
|
| We awkwardly tried to learn the simple dance moves. Here Laura Iatesta, Eric Chapman, and Mike Sandford join the crowd. |
