A LEPER'S CONGENITAL MALFORMATION

In one of the community engagement programs, we met a man in his early fifties (50’s) by the name of Godfred Ansong who has been battling with the issue of congenital malformation since birth. His medical condition has made it difficult for him to freely expose the affected left hand to the full glare of the public, hence the affected hand has always been in his pocket for decades so he can avoid the ridicule of people. Life has been pretty difficult for him and securing a personal job has been a herculean task, however, he has started some petty trading that will enable him take care of his family. A little bit of support will help him rise above the storms so that someday, his situation will change and he will live his life just as any healthy person will live his life.
