New Hope { 30 images } Created 18 Dec 2018
New Hope (Rural Leprosy Trust) is a non Government Organisation in Orissa and
started work in a remote tribal area in Western Orissa, India.
New Hope works towards eradicating Leprosy in Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. Other projects include aspects of all development including Leprosy, Tribal areas with Education for Nutrition, Immunization, safe delivery kits, Reforestation of Forests and new farming methods in Tribal villages.
New Hope works towards the eradication of leprosy, which is now curable, through early treatment, rehabilitation and education. The remarkable achievements of the Trust are a credit to the generosity and dedication of committed Indians and support in Australia.
Eliazar T. Rose Director of New Hope India recently said: of the Australian links built over the past 12 years,
"I feel strongly about the whole relationship of working side by side with a solid team from a developed country"
It started in 1988, and continues with Maggie sister and a fund raising Association "Friends of New Hope India Relief (Aust) Inc." Registered with the Australian Government in 1994. Maggie Nolan (Maggie sister) has spent 17 years supporting and nurturing the New Hope community, through its growth from a small community centre with 10 staff to an organization with over 350 staff.
Over 500,000 adults and children and over 400 remote tribal villages are assisted by New Hope.
Eliazar and his wife Ruth come from very humble backgrounds. Both their parents suffered from Leprosy and have experienced the horror of being ostracized. Those with Leprosy were forced to live in colonies, which in the 1950's was horrendous and without real anti Leprosy drugs. Eliazar was painfully aware of the shame and rejection suffered by his parents and from an early age he resolved to fight both the disease and its stigma.
I was invited by 'Sister Maggie" (whom I know as we both live in Broome) to visit and stay for a few days than was invited to join a nurse who took me to the Dongria Kondh tribe. Nowadays it's far to dangerous to visit Maggie sister told me.
