Yesterday we visisted one of the leprosy colonies served by Rising Star. Saw a monkey and it's baby on the side of the road. Had our driver pull over so we could have a better look. Very cute. The colony we went to was small and well kept. Not sure who built the buildings for them to stay in. Some thought is was the government. Maybe some organization from Belguim. And I'm not sure when - they seemed quite new to me. Rising star comes every two weeks and provides medical care. The patients are given self care kits; we (volunteers) are there to reinforce what they should be doing every day. They were very sweet and kind people. Most were full of smiles. On the way home we stopped and visited a temple and climbed up the hill to the top. There were a bunch of statues depicting the life of Christ on the way up to the top.
