Leprosy Mailing List – March 27, 2021
Ref.: (LML) In memoriam of Father George Abram
From: Marcos Virmond, Bauru, Brazil
Dear Pieter
We should congratulate Dr. Naafs for his message (LML, March 25, 2021) on Father George Abram - a hidden hero.
Leprosy is a fertile soil for such attitudes. Illness, disfigurement, stigma and discrimination on people can drive good men to devote their lives to other than themselves. These are leprosy heroes and they do not fulfill the archetype of the "romantic hero", although some positive side of these can be found in our leprosy heroes - their tendency to philanthropy.
There are many hidden heroes such as Father George Abram and they must be unveiled. Their stories should be told to encourage and stimulate us to go further into the fight against leprosy. I urge LML readers to tell us their stories.
