Ref.: (LML) Introduction of Mrs Joëlle Kerl – Volunteer Mission in India
From: Laila de Laguiche, Curitiba, Brazil
Dear colleagues working in religious communities serving people affected by leprosy in India,
I hope this message finds you well.
I would like to introduce Mrs Joëlle Kerl, a French national who recently contacted me seeking advice on where she might volunteer for three months in India, in direct service to people living with leprosy.
During our conversation, Mrs Kerl deeply impressed me with her humanity, sensitivity, and strong empathy for patients. She has already volunteered in mobile clinics, assisting with screening and wound care — including complex dressings — always under nursing supervision.
She also brings extensive humanitarian experience across Africa, Madagascar, and India, where she previously worked in the leprosy centre of Rawthankuppam (Tamil Nadu). Her long career reflects a lifelong commitment to the most vulnerable, combining professionalism with deep compassion and respect.
Mrs Kerl will cover all her travel expenses and only requests accommodation and, if possible, meals during the period of her entirely voluntary service.
I would be most grateful if any of you could suggest a suitable community or institution that might welcome her. I would then be pleased to share your contact details with her.
Please find attached her detailed CV, which highlights a remarkable background in community health, development, and human rights.
Thank you very much for your kind attention and cooperation.
With my warmest regards and collegial friendship,
Dr Laila de Laguiche
Dermatologist – Leprologist
President, Alliance Against Leprosy (AAL)
