The Central Baptist Convention has a program called the rehabilitative program. Although there are rarely any new cases of leprosy here anymore, there are still people who have obtained it from years ago. Amputations, hand deformities and decreased sensation are a few of the remaining difficulties of people with leprosy. I tried to teach the librarian how to set up an email account and it took at least an hour and a half just to sign up due to the mouse on my computer being touch sensitive. What the rehabilitative program does is it teaches these people how to do different arts and crafts to sell in order to make an income. The hospital sells their embroidery work and it is beautiful. I am amazed at how someone who not only has hand deformities, but also minimal to no sensation could embroider these beautiful tablecloths.
