Hi Markus and the rest.
I have good news concerning possible stay for Michele. I contacted Unn
Ljøner Hagen who also was in Japan during the RI world congress and she
welcomes Michele to stay with them from the 15th to the 30th of August. She
lives just outside Oslo so if Michele lives in Frankfurt she can travel
very cheaply with Ryan air from Frankfurt-Hahn. Unn Ljøner Hagen has RP and
is an executive within the Norwegian blind association. She and her family
have lived in South Africa for many years and so they speak very well
English. There is a 16 year old boy and a 14 year old daughter in the
family and I can promise Michele a wonderful stay there. The children will
however be starting up school at that time so at daytime she will have some
time for herself.

I hope this is interesting. For more information contact me privately on
brynjulv.norheim@... or give me Michele's phone number or she
can call me at home +47.22952929 and I can forward names and addresses.

all the best,
BRynjulv


Anyway, her name is Michele. She is 16 years old and she is living close to
Frankfurt.
She is having RP but still good vision.
Her summer holidays are starting on 21.07.03 until 29.08.03. I guess 1-2
weeks would be requested for the exchange.
She would like to live with a guest family to learn more about other
countries, cultures and of course languages.
As I mentioned before her parents (no RP) also offering to be guest parents..
Hope that the questions are answered now.
If not, please let me know.
