This is the story of Paul Brand, the founder of the Leprosy Mission, and his influence on the treatment of leprosy patients around the world. Paul Brand grew up in the Kolli Malai hills in India. He was determined never to leave India and never to be a doctor like his father – especially to lepers. Paul came back to India with a medical degree and there were patients waiting for him – leprosy patients. From then on he devoted his life to their care … even to the point of making them special shoes! Paul’s faith in God, his love for mankind and his medical abilities gave those who suffered from leprosy a new life – and hope.
