A new !

[Guest guest]

Welcome to our world!

Hope that on this list you will find answers or at least learn some of the

questions to ask of the helping people in Indonesia where you are. Tell us

how you come to be there???

I have been on this list since 1996. IT has made a world of difference for

me, my son, and the rest of my family. I am the mother of 6 ranging in age

from 41 down to Elie who is now 23. Elie is soon to move into his new

living arrangement with an peer age buddy with whom he has become friends.

His friend will be his safety net and help him to be the adult he has

become. will have another person helping him during the day to give

Elie opportunities to work in the community. We are very excited about

these changes.

I just learned that some of my children are lurkers on this list - learning

so that they can be supports for their brother when we are no longer able.
