Leprosy

Leprosy is still a real ongoing disease in Nepal. When we go shopping and cross over the road on a pedestrian bridge there are usually people sitting on the steps who have leprosy and are begging for money.  It is a sad situation. I will also post more interesting pictures of random things in Kathmandu.
