| We would like to inform all our clients and families that our Proprietor, Christopher Wickenden is to take up a 12 month charitable post with the Leprosy Mission International from February 2008. Christopher will be working in Bangladesh in an accounting and financial role.
The Leprosy Mission (TLM) International is a leading non-denominational Christian organization, with over 130 years experience in leprosy work. Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium and affects the skin of the fingers and toes, resulting in tissue and cartilage loss, capable of causing disability and even blindness. Leprosy can be effectively treated and cured with Multidrug Therapy. Every year between 200,000 and 400,000 new cases of leprosy are detected, worldwide, many of these in Bangladesh, where leprosy is a major public health problem. TLM is working alongside the Bangladeshi government and other NGOs to deliver a combination of compassion and action to identify and assist people to a cure and treat physical impairments through reconstructive surgery. TLM also invests in education, vocational training, counselling and socio-economic rehabilitation. We are very proud of Christopher’s personal commitment to TLM and wish him every success in his work. We would also like to extend our best wishes to all TLM staff worldwide and recognise their work to prevent disability whilst offering support and restoring dignity, an ethos very close to our own hearts. We would ask anyone able to contribute to the work of TLM to ask our staff for details.
