New Water Purification unit

A new water purification unit is installed at the Leprosy Hospital of Believers’ Church of Purulia  India sponsored by Order of St Lazarus and organised by Ramakrishna Vivekananda Mission  India.

The unit has been installed as a result of a Fundraising Quiz held by the members and friends of the Commandery of John of Gaunt. It has been of enormous benefit for leprosy patients and also staff members and local residents especially as the temperature is now around 50 degree C in that area.
