Ex-Mancunian living in Israel since 2001. Married with two grown up boys. My unpaid day job is a voluntary position on the executive board of a non-profit organisation based in Tel Aviv, which assists women and children to overcome economic and social difficulties, educating and empowering weaker sectors of society. I write 'the WIZO Impact' - a newsletter of impact stories. My inspiration is drawn from the faces of the people behind the stories, and from experiences in my own life. I am somewhat political, often outspoken and totally passionate about the imperfect democracy that is Israel. Read me and learn more.
