Fra Saldoha Spedalskhedskoloni, Santal Parganas, Nordindien. Jørgen Nørgaard Pedersen på besøg, december 1983. Stedet er grundlagt i 1923 af missionær, ingeniør Eli Bøgh, som ønskede at patienter skulle leve som i en almindelig landsby, med arbejdsmuligheder efter evne, med lokalråd etc. Og stedet blev en model institution, hvor havebrug og landbrug indgik som led i terapien samtidig med, at det bidrog til koloniens økonomi. Sammen med broderen, missionslæge Boe Bojesen Bøgh, opbyggede han det hospital, som blev centrum i kolonien. (Stedet er senere overdraget til Den Internationale Spedalskhedsmission/TLMI) From Saldoha Leprosy Colony, Santal Parganas, North India. Jørgen Nørgaard Pedersen is visiting
