[nobe-l] introduction and seeking an advise

Wed Mar 2 23:27:58 UTC 2011

Thank you very much for your response, regarding children schools, I was
thinking about part time job. Is that possible  to hire part time in public
schools?

 Also, I tried to do some research   on blindness services for kids in
schools, and found that there's  an educational county center, I don't
remember exact name, that provide those services such as Braille, mobility 
instructions. On my understanding it has to be  work requiring travelling
through over a county.
