Hidden Lives
The Leprosy Mission Australia works with people with leprosy, other neglected tropical diseases and disabilities. They are the most marginalised and poorest of the poor. People often hidden from the rest of society.
Their lives might be completely difference to people living in Australia, but they also have amazing life experiences worth sharing. As staff of The Leprosy Mission Australia, we want to uncover what is hidden and share with you the lives of the people we meet throughout our work.
This podcast contains stories about people we've meet during our work who have shared their life journeys with us.

Hidden Lives
01 - Reality is not what it seems
15 year old Karuna turned up alone to a health clinic with a small discoloured patch on her arm. She has beautiful long black hair, large eyes with long lashes and looked stylish in her long black baggy pants and oversized purple shirt sporting the word PARIS in large letters. She looks just like every other 15 year old, but was she?
Why did she turn up alone? Where were her parents? And what was life like for her?
