Because of you, Kannan now has a future! He is working as a supervisor in the electrical industry, looking forward to becoming an entrepreneur.
Kannan’s future could have been very different. Without your support, he could have been one of many young people with no prospects. All because their leprosy-affected parents could not keep them in school.
Instead, Kannan has a job he loves and wants to help others affected by leprosy.
Kannan says, “To Australian donors I would like to say God bless you… Due to my mother having leprosy, and the hardship this brought upon my family, I was eligible to join the Vocational Training Centre. Without the help of The Leprosy Mission, I would never have been able to afford this training. I learned about motor coiling, repairing transformers and repairing underground cables, as well as life skills. Thank you!”
