Sr Lidia comments on this photo:
“Of this photo I don’t have many memories… I only remember that I was in Bodipukur, about 30 years ago.
Boniface, who is the father of the little girl I am holding, was working in the leprosarium together with Sr Magdalena. He lived near our house with his wife and daughter. All three often came to visit us and this photo was taken on one of their visits to our house”.
