----- Original Message ----- From: byk - byk@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Nothing to do with teaching Before I go off to teach the last lessons of the week, I promised a friend that I would ask the ever helpful member of this list if they can be of...HELP My friend has a frind who is destitute. She has a small boy of 4, no job, no home and no money. The social services say they can do nothing for her. Does anybody out there know where she could turn for help. She is from Russia, educated, speaks English, among other languages, but finds it difficult to get on in jobs where she is working with other people. She is desperately afraid that her child will be taken from her. She has no family here. I know from the experience of another friend, that there appears to be no safety net in Israel, but I would be delighted if someone could prove me wrong.
