    • I'm from Chile, south america and I have being staying at the RMH of Cleveland for more than 10 months with my family. After a few months we became volunteers of our house and now that we are going back to our country, the board of trustees of the house offered me the responsability to become the Chairman of a new organization for the house, starting in October , when we open our new web site. As the Chairman of the virtual volunteers I'm now organising everything. I allready sent invitations to get poeople involve in this huge project to more than 60 families arround the world and so far, so well! I'm also finishing the deffinitive gidelines for the virtual volunteers and we are planing on starting to work after the opening of the web site. The idea is to give another sourse of information to future gests about what the house is and our own experience about it. We are also planning on translations of the web site to different lenguages as one of our works in the future. We would also like to promote the use of internet as a way to find medical information for the families and gide parents in the use of chat rooms as support groups.

      I'm also trying to get a newsgroup for us so I can meet in private with my volunteers with out worring about zone timings.

      As you can see, this is a big, big project and we are looking foward to make it work as we espect it to work. I'll be in touch with people from all arround the world in order to create the first contact (link) beetwin the new gests and the RMH of Cleveland.
