Every Thursday our dedicated coffee drinkers (and some tea drinkers too) meet for coffee and a chat at the Studland Community Coffee Morning. In summer we go to the Manor Farm Tea Rooms where Julie Smith provides home made scones as well as the drinks. The rest of the year we return to the Church Hall for our refreshments. Thanks to the generosity of the Coffee Morning crowd we have managed to raise £315 this year. The maney has gone to the Leprosy Mission. Specifically we have supported some repair work in Niger.

The Leprosy Mission in Niger funds and provides personnel for Danja Leprosy Referral Hospital in the centre of the country, which provides leprosy services to the whole of the Maradi region and beyond. These leprosy services include medical and surgical care, physiotherapy, and self-care training for leprosy patients with complications such as wounds, reactions, and eye problems. There is also a socio-economic rehabilitation department that offers livelihood support as well as welfare for those who need it.

So, we have turned our coffee into a cure and support for those suffering from leprosy. You can find out more about the work of the Leprosy Mission by following this link: https://www.leprosymission.org.uk/
