…velopmental disabilities who have the capacity to move into simple jobs at businesses like Kinko’s. Finding clients to attend the Kulanu classes seems to be Johnston’s biggest challenge. She admitted, “Part of the challenge is to locate people who are interested. Agencies just want me to drop off fliers—but that’s not bringing in enough participants.” Tilsen noted that Kulanu is being thoroughly documented so the materials and program model can be…

That was when Lot and Abram’s herdsman got into an argument over the shortage of land. Abram the…
…way out of line with our numbers — in research, the professions and arts, business and government, pretty much as Mark Twain saw it at the end of the 19th.
