While I was traveling through the Amazon, I was able to get to know the stories of many warriors, who faced the hansen’s disease.

The struggle, stigma and discrimination that circulate until today are long, arduous and unknown to many people. I am an ambassador of the fight against Hansen’s disease in my country and this is what I witnessed. The oldest disease in the world, is not only part of the past: iti still exists.
