This two-part episode shines a light on the lived experiences of two remarkable individuals affected by NTDs. We explore firsthand how disability influences and affects their lives. In part 2, host twitter.com/GarryAslanyan speaks with Dan Izzett, a former civil engineering technician and pastor who has turned his retirement into a powerful mission advocating for people living with leprosy. Peter Waddup, the CEO of the Leprosy Mission in Great Britain, provides a thoughtful reflection on Dan's message and its practical implications for the global health community.

Leprosy historically symbolizes physical decay, social ostracization, and a slow, visible death. The "dance" transforms this suffering into a grotesque, involuntary performance; a ritual of decay witnessed by others.

Lyrics:

This is my Leper Dance
Sound the bells
Keep your distance
Know the smell
Stench and sickness
Growth compelled
Come bare witness
To what of me has fell

Broken skin and run on sentence
Flee the pest, bloodborne penance
I do protest, just no repentance
Hands that crack, mindful and senseless

The dance of the Leper
A plague in the air
Beat my drum
Crumbs of fair
Pull myself up
Flaking faking despair

This is my Leper Dance
Sound the bells
Keep your distance
Know the smell
Stench and sickness
Growth compelled
Come bare witness
To what of me has fell


Alter the body
Altar of mine
Change the story
Change the mind
Mostly sore
More and more flies
Bring around the cart
Add what's left of me to the pile


This is my Leper Dance
Sound the bells
Keep your distance
Know the smell
Stench and sickness
Growth compelled
Come bare witness
To what of me has fell
