Ruth Pfau was born in 1929 in Leipzig, Germany and grew up during the horrors of the second world war. After studying medicine during the 1950's Ruth joined the order of the 'Daughters of the Heart of Mary' and was sent by the order to work in India. In 1960, while awaiting a visa in Karachi, Ruth visited the McLeod Leper Colony, little more than a beggar's camp at the time, deciding to stay to serve the leprosy patients and her great work began. 
In less than five years, Sister Ruth established the Leprosy Control Program and working with a Pakistani dermatologist initiated training programs for local medical workers. In 1979, she was appointed Federal Adviser on Leprosy to the Government of Pakistan and by 1996, leprosy had been controlled in the country and Dr. Ruth Pfau's work was assisting leprosy and public health initiatives across the world. Similarly, her medical and social engagement were honored in Germany with the highest political and social awards.
During March 2010, the German and Pakistani governments were celebrating Dr. Ruth Pfau's work in Karachi. March 6 - 9 Theremin player Carolina Eyck and her music ensemble from Berlin performed at the German Consulate and some of the schools where Ruth worked and founded.
