One of them is our new friend **Massimo**, a volunteer working for the “<a href="http://www.northkinangop.com/index.php/en/" target="_blank">North Kinangop Catholic Hospital</a>” in Kenya. We met him today. He’s just came home – he lives in Padua (Italy) – and we took a 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.

When Massimo contacted us, they were using an old version of Remmina 1.0, running on Raspbian distribution. Remmina 1.0 has a lot of bugs, and it’s out of maintenance, so Massimo sent us an email requesting help. - + With our remote support, **he easily upgraded their RaspeberryPIs to Xubuntu 16.04 and Remmina 1.2**, in only few hours of work. _“When you are over there, and you’re away from everything, you have to carry all you need from Italy. When I was in trouble with Remmina, I sent a message to maintainers, and I didn’t expect any particular help, but within few hours it all was up and running!”_.
