Victims of Hansen's disease

aka

Leprosy

must plead for handouts to

feed their families and themselves.

 

The disease destroys the tendons in their fingers thus they are permanently abnormally flexed.

 

Victims are segregated from the general population and often live in their own communities aka 'leprosy colonies' many of which I have visited.
