Indeed, we use Remmina on the day-by-day work, and sometimes we were facing some bugs here and there. So our common thinking was: why can’t we just solve these annoying little problems? We started contributing to Remmina: that’s how all started! +Starting work on Remmina back in 2014, indeed the aim was solving issues experienced ourselves. -Well, more than two years after, Remmina still has a bunch of little annoying problems, but **now it’s at his best**, and it’s **used by thousands of users** all over the world. +In 2017, the state of Remmina is that of, still, little annoying problems, but **better than ever**, and **used by thousands** all over the world. -One of them is our new friend **Massimo**, a volunteer working for the “<a href="https://www.northkinangop.com/index.php/en/" target="_blank">North Kinangop Catholic Hospital</a>” in Kenya.

We met him as he just came home. He lives in Padua (Italy), and we had coffee together. -The hospital he volunteers is located about 130 kilometers north of Nairobi, on the plateau of Nyandarua at the foot of the Aberdare ranges. It’s not only a hospital, but an entire autonomous community with its houses, nursing school, mechanical workshop and many other laboratories. It was created more than 50 years ago by the Catholic Diocese of Nyahururu, with the support of Italian Diocese of Padua. Now it has more than 350 beds and 4 operating rooms. +The hospital he volunteers at is located about 130 kilometers north of Nairobi, on the plateau of Nyandarua, at the foot of the Aberdare range.
