DAMIAN FATHER


He was born in 1840 the 3rd of January in Belgium.

He started with his life as a priest.

In 1863 the 2nd of November he travelled to Honolulu.

He arrived at Honolulu the 19th of March.

But in 1873 he must to go to the island of the lepers. He was 33 years old.

He did a lot of things in that Island. he built a church, he tried to cure all the people... but in 1880 in January he started to note the first nuisance in his left leg.

In 1883 he lost the mobility of his left foot.

The lepology of the island detected in Dmian Father the lepresy.

He started to be very ill and the illness had not left him and in 15th of april 1889 he died. he couldn't do more.

I think this person was a good person and did a lot of things that anyone can do at this moment.
