I’m quite an active member in this stutteringchat forums and below is a response to a member named Rachel who was asking about how online forums can benefit PWS.

>Hi Rachel,

> Such forums (stutteringchat forums) are effective because they provide support to PWS. For
example, as for me, I can freely express myself in a non-verbal way in
a safe-environment.

day to day basis.

information that you have found, espcially the resources part and
helpful web sites. I’m sure many of us will benefit from it.

reach out to Asian Community after being inspired by the founders of
this forums and NSA and BSA.

A reply from another wonderful member, Keith on 17/10/06, Tuesday.

Hi Jhong Ren,
I give you all my best wishes for the new site you are creating. I am
sure a number of us would be pleased to help if we could.

Live your one life to the full,

Keith

and another email from him:

Hello Jhong, Ren

I saw you reference to your building this website in Stuttering Chat. I wish you every good fortune in your endeavors.

How is it going? Are you alone, or have you a small team?

I belong to the outreach section of the ISA (International Stuttering Association). My main project is to Raise the stuttering Awareness in India and then Pakistan. I am working on India at present.

If you want to chat, or exchange ideas, my Yahoo IM and SKYPE ids are ****** (for confidentiality) and you have my email.

Take care, and I hope to hear from you,

Keith

My thoughts: It was really heart-warming to receive emails from other members offering help and advice to Raise the Stuttering Awareness. Thank you, Keith. Not to worry. I will contact you soon.
