Thanks to your help through the PIME Medical Fund, Mavuluru Papaiah continues to assist the people of the Adharsa Nagar Leprosy Colony. Monthly stipends to 34 lepers keep them from begging for a living, and they also receive general healthcare assistance. Mr. Papaiah thanks U.S. donors for their continued support for those with leprosy. Your help has been even more vital during the pandemic, as he was able to distribute additional food to the families during lockdowns. The colony keeps PIME USA supporters in their daily prayers.
Mr. Papaiah also informed us that PIME Superior in India, Fr. Ravi Marneni, and PIME Treasurer in India, Fr. Bala Joji, visited the colony in early 2021.
