47. Blessed Peter Donders Biography of Petrus Donders and his leprosy work in nineteenth century Suriname. http://www.redemptorists.net/biodon.htm

Blessed Peter Donders B orn in Tilburg, Holland, on 27th October 1809 of Arnold Denis Donders and Petronella van den Brekel. Because the family was poor, the two sons could be given little schooling but had to work for the support of the home. From an early age, however, Peter had formed the desire of becoming a priest. Eventually, with the assistance of the clergy of his parish he was able at the age of twenty two to commence study at the Minor Seminary. In due time he was ordained priest on 5th June 1841. While still engaged in his theological studies he had been guided by his superiors in the seminary towards the missions of the Dutch colony of Surinam. He arrived in Paramaribo, the principal city of the colony, on 16th September 1842 and applied himself at once to the pastoral works that were to occupy him until his death. His first duties included regular visits to the plantations along the rivers of the colony, where he preached and ministered the Sacraments mainly to slaves. His letters express his indignation at the harsh treatment of the African peoples forced to work on the plantations. In 1856 he was sent to the leper station of Batavia; and this was to be, with very few interruptions, the scene of his labors for the rest of his life. In his charity he not only provided the benefits of religion to the patients, but even tended them personally until he was able to persuade the authorities to provide adequate nursing services. In many ways he was able to improve the conditions of the lepers through his energy in bringing their needs to the attention of the colonial authorities.

Leprosy Throughout the Ages by Eleanor E. Storrs Until the coming of AIDS, leprosy was the most feared of infectious diseases. Even today, it warps the lives of millions of people; mostly in South America, Africa, and the Orient. The Black Death that swept though Europe in the last half of the 14th century, killing one third of the people, was more violent in its ravages. But it came and went quickly, like a great earthquake, followed by a series of after shocks. Leprosy has tormented humans since the dawn of history; leaving lasting imprints on religion, literature, and art. It is a deep rooted part of the human psyche, with both mystical and physical meanings. Asians and Africans call it "the big disease" in many tongues because of the damage done to soul and body of those cursed with it. We know nothing certain about the origins of leprosy, except that it is old, very old. An account of a disease that could be leprosy appears in an Egyptian papyrus inscribed about 1552-1350 B.C. But this is an imaginative guess, made by modern scholars, that could be wrong. Indian writings dated at 600 B.C, describe a disease that most experts agree was leprosy. It does not appear in the records of ancient Greece until the army of Alexander the Great came back from India in 326 B.C. In Rome, the first mention coincides with the return of Pompey's troops from Asia Minor in 62 B.C. Thus Asia could be the cradle of infection.

LEPROSY IN INDIA Vol. 51 No. 1, January 1979 EXAMINATION OF NORTH AMERICAN ARMADILLOS FOR MYCOBACTERIOSIS- A FURTHER REPORT by W.F. Kirchheimer The question of "Leprosy in Wild Armadillos" was the subject of an editorial by Dharmendra in LEPROSY IN INDIA in April 1978. He stated that "where leprosy-like disease is found in wild armadillos, the possible source or sources of the infection should be carefully investigated." Carville's search for "natural" leprosy was initiated when Dr. Sohan L. Issar informed Carville staff in November 1973 that he had discovered a generalized mycobacteriosis in an experimentally uninfected armadillo housed at Gulf South Research Institute (GSRI) for 2 years. His detailed communication and speculation about possible origins of the infection were printed in LEPROSY SCIENTIFIC MEMORANDA, February 1976, Memo L 778. In the issue of LEPROSY IN INDIA which carried Dharmendra's editorial Kirchheimer and Sanchez published their results of search for leprosy-like mycobacterioses from 1 January 1974 to 31 December 1977. These findings are summarized in Table 1. No leprosy-like disease was found in any of 373 armadillos. Two hundred eighty-two of these were caught in Louisiana, 78 in Florida and 13 in Texas. Since then additional information has become available and it is the purpose to present Carville's later findings and discuss their implications. Table II shows that between January 1974 and 30 June 1978, 396 individual wild-caught armadillos were examined. Three hundred six armadillos were from Louisiana and the rest from Florida and Texas. No leprosy-like mycobacteriosis was found in 395 armadillos (99.75%).

Brief history, contact information. Admission is free, but visitors must obtain a permit from the state Department of Health. http://www.nps.gov/kala/

Kalaupapa National Historical Park Located in Kalaupapa, HI TRAVEL BASICS CAMPING LODGING ACTIVITIES FACILITIES FEES/PERMITS (NPS Photo) IN BRIEF Two tragedies occurred on the Kalaupapa Peninsula on the north shore of the island of Moloka`i; the first was the removal of indigenous people in 1865 and 1895, the second was the forced isolation of sick people to this remote place from 1866 until 1969. The removal of Hawaiians from where they had lived for 900 years cut the cultural ties and associations of generations of people with the `aina (land). The establishment of an isolation settlement, first at Kalawao and then at Kalaupapa, tore apart Hawaiian society as the kingdom, and subsequently, the territory of Hawai`i tried to control a feared disease. The impact of broken connections with the `aina and of family members "lost" to Kalaupapa are still felt in Hawai`i today. Kalaupapa National Historical Park, established in 1980, contains the physical setting for these stories. Within its boundaries are the historic Hansen's disease settlements of Kalaupapa and Kalawao. The community of Kalaupapa, on the leeward side of Kalaupapa Peninsula, is still home for many surviving Hansen's disease patients, whose memories and experiences are cherished values. In Kalawao on the windward side of the peninsula are the churches of Siloama, established in 1866, and Saint Philomena, associated with the work of Father Damien (Joseph De Veuster).
