I am a big softy sometimes, and when people don't have money, I swap them lessons for labour. Of course, there isn't much scribal labour someone in Boston or rural New Zealand can do for a soferet in Montreal, but...
...but the graphic designer is editing and formatting a textbook for me; the student who sorely needs practice deciphering Rashi script is typing up a halakhic text as she learns her way through it; the student who wants to create quizzes to test herself is using the typed-up text (and will also share the quizzes with those who come after her)...this is starting to work the way I intended it to. This is great.
