As many of you saw in the broadcast of the April 2004 World Report of the Church, our visits to the Leprosy home are greatly needed and much appreciated.

“It’s very important that people like you do support; otherwise, this place is hard to function. Your presence makes the day for them”, says Francis Tan, director of SILRA.

“Whenever they come here we are always very happy and delighted to see them.                                    

We are looking forward for them coming here for a long time to come. They bring a lot of joy to us”, reports Lim Ahlee, a resident of the home.

Thanks to many of the members of the Stake, we have been able to make monthly visits to our friends at the Leprosy home. We usually bring a treat for them to eat while we visit together.

Once the residents brought out the Karaoke equipment and sang a few of their favorite songs. During our May visit, many of us spent time with the resident bonsai tree gardener. He grooms trees to sell in order to earn a little bit of spending money.

Many of us were impressed with his work and left the facility as proud owners of some very attractive plants.
