To say thank you to all the followers of the Facing Leprosy project, I am posting a Photo-slideshow of some of the pictures I took of Umeshi during my stay in Nepal. My stay in Nepal ended two weeks ago, but the situation of the leprosy patients in Nepal and around the world continues. It needs the support of us all to make an end to Leprosy.

This is the long journey that took me from Kathmandu all the way to the Far west of Nepal. I finally arrived in Dhangadi after a long road trip. I returned to the place where I previously photographed Umeshi, now the question is whether I am going to be able to find her back and how she is doing 5 years later.

Getting closer to where I originally found Umeshi 5 years ago, more information coming soon.

On my way to Nepalganj to find Umeshi (young woman affected by leprosy ) I photographed 5 years ago. Flying this afternoon to the West of Nepal

Yesterday I visited a Leprosy colony near Kathmandu called Kokhana, it exist already since 1857. I met with Gaudi a health worker I worked with 5 years ago and all the Leprosy affected people who still live there.It was nice to meet them again.
