Can anyone help us find a care-giving job
for Sabrin, who lives in Gaza and desperately wants
to leave — as does everyone in her family. She is willing
to do anything, possibly care-take for children (she has 6
younger siblings) or for older people. She speaks some English,
is willing to learn whatever is necessary and has a passport.
I and two friends, one in Denmark and one in Canada, have
been in constant email contact with this family for at
least 7 years. We send them small amounts of money when we can and
parcels of clothing and other necessities when we are able.
Conditions in Gaza become more and more desperate. Can anybody help
by offering her at least a year’s work doing (almost) anything? Thank you. Hallie
