Peter Waddup's Weekly Blog Edition 34: In this week's Waddup this week, Peter highlights the power of self-care groups in leprosy-affected communities. These groups not only help people manage the physical effects of leprosy but also offer something just as vital — friendship. Isolation and stigma often follow a leprosy diagnosis, but these groups provide a sense of belonging and support. In places like Nepal and Nigeria, people come together to heal, share, and build lasting connections. It’s amazing to see how these groups can transform lives and restore hope.
