A decade ago, Irina Buslo was a teacher in Belarus. But when she moved to New York from Minsk six years ago, she worked as a baby sitter. Later she got a job as a clerk at Banana Republic, but her interest was in learning about computers.
A year and a half ago, when she was hired to be an administrative assistant at Fuji Bank in 2 World Trade Center, she was thrilled. She and her roommate celebrated by buying new shoes.
The job meant that she could send more money home to her mother and 13-year-old daughter, who live together in Minsk, and that she was a step closer to bringing her daughter to New York.
Ms. Buslo, who was divorced from her husband, had studied English and Spanish in college in Minsk in the early 80's.
