How do we manage the cooperation of the people?

DRUGS
We have a supply of frequently requested medicines that we try to have in advance. Due to our situation we try not to buy them, but to obtain them from other sources.
We work on parent awareness, stressing  their responsibility to give back the medicines when possible. On the other side, we use the media to encourage the general public to donate drugs that they might have at home (we call it recycling).

HOSPITALS 
Sometimes people have approached us wanting to help the pediatric hospital. Our approach has been to try to organize them and, for this purpose, we have created a special fund with the money they raised and maintain it for the help they want to give. They tend to supply the information about possible donors and we make the formal presentation and administrate the funds.
At the moment we have two groups of this kind: 

1. A group that supports Research in Pediatric Oncology: They are parents of survivors, children treated at the Hospital Garrahan, all of them having completed their treatment. The parents try to raise money, get other parents involved, organize meetings or events and work with the media. 
2. A group that supports the Posadas Hospital Pediatric Oncology Department. This group is led by two mothers whose daughter and son have died. Recently they raised the money to re-build part of the ward area and they also create a better link with the families of children attending the hospital, which is far away from our house. These mothers come to us looking for the things that the families and hospital may need. This way, the parents themselves don't have to travel so far to get our services.
