I teach a Merit Badge class--Family Life--for which the Scouts do a family service project. One family finished rolling 60+ leprosy bandages my mother made. This is what I sent along with the unrolled bandages. It would be fun if you read the end; it's more than instructions. Photos, except mine, are from the D.O.V.E website.
Dear Friends,
This is my mother, Judie Dilley. She is the person who made the Leprosy Bandages you will be rolling. She liked making them but her own illness kept her from rolling and mailing them. After she died I found them and thought it would be a shame not to share them. Thank you for helping the bandages on their way to serving someone in need.
When I wrote a letter to see if the bandages could still be used, with a photo of Sister Dilley’s work, they wrote this back:
First of all, please accept my condolences on the passing of your mother. I am sure she would be pleased to know that you followed through on getting the bandages to us. They are done to perfection! I would love to know more about her if you care to share. Yes, you can send the beautiful bandages to me….
Blessings to you and your family,
Linda Stocker, The D.O.V.E Fund Trustee [The Bandage Brigade]
This is someone starting a bandage. It does take quite awhile to finish just one. 
(These are Judie’s)
Each bandage is four feet long.They aren't made of colored yarn because dyes can cause problems.
After washing, the bandages hang to dry.
Then, they are rolled up, pinned and put into ziplock bags.
People in Vietnam are so happy to receive them.
The Savior’s hands.
Here you see a bandage like the one you will roll being used to help keep a patient’s skin covered and clean. The Savior loved and helped those with leprosy. He specifically charged his disciples to “cleanse the lepers” (Matthew 10:8). People didn’t have many ways to treat the disease. It was a poignant way of demonstrating mercy.
When we understand that leprosy comes from a chronic infection that can take years to manifest itself, that, untreated, it can cause nerve damage so that people who have it don’t feel when something is hurting them, and that if people wait to take care of it (or if treatment is unavailable) healing can also take a very long time, we can see why Jesus mentions it in His teachings. I think it’s a metaphor for loss of sensitivity (not always through sin) and what it takes to fix it.
He is our healer, even when we are not watchful enough, or when we have waited too long, or when we don’t realize something bad is happening, or when we are not in a position to help ourselves, or when we have something that seems unhealable, in body, mind or spirit. When we turn to Him, He can heal things that we can’t. Far faster than we could ever dream.
