Due to spammers,will be glad if you send NL PM. We can exchange contacts.

youngice:
thanks but please do you know any such companies and should it be hand written or typed

No bro. It will be typed and you send via emails. It will take a long time to get emails of companies in those countries due to thier large economy but if you really put in much effort,you will see offer and you decide on which one to accept.

I am also trying it and I have seen replies so i belive before next year when i hope to start,i would have gotten a great offer.

Yes. You find companies in your field,send your cover letter and cv to as many as you can. The cover letter will be inform of internship which could be paid or unpaid. Best of luck bro !

1 Avoid presumptions about a person's physical abilities.

You don't know what this person's physical abilities are. Just because someone is in a wheelchair it does not mean that they are paralyzed or that they are incapable of taking a few steps. Some people only use a wheelchair because they cannot stand too long, or have a walking restriction problem. Many times, people who never use nor need a wheelchair rent them because too long a walk is extremely tiring, or they have a heart condition. Even if someone is paralyzed, that does not necessarily mean they are completely numb. Do not test whether a person is genuinely paralyzed. If you see a person in a wheelchair moving their legs or stand up, do not question their ability or disability, and try not to act surprised.

2 Greet a wheelchair user the same as you would anyone.
Extend your hand, even if they have limited use of their hands or an artificial limb. Generally, it's appropriate to offer to shake hands regardless of their condition.

3 Speak directly to the person who uses the wheelchair.

If someone is accompanying that person (pushing the wheelchair, for example), do not talk to this companion about the person in the wheelchair; for example, "Will he/she be needing help with..?" to figure out how to help. That is incredibly rude and implies that the person using the wheelchair is not able to answer on his/her own. Always address him or her directly and respectfully. When you find that you are going to continue the conversation for a bit longer than you had thought, suggest you go somewhere where you can take a seat. If you can't relocate to a seating area, then stand a few feet away, so that the person does not have to lift their head to look at you.

4 Don't feel shy about using expressions like "running along" or "let's go for a walk".

The phrases are figurative, not literal, and a wheelchair user understands that. It can be more uncomfortable if you blunder the conversation to avoid such phrases, because it shows that the wheelchair user's condition is on your mind.

5 Keep your observations to yourself.

Comments like "Oh, that zooms so fast!" or "Look out, there is a speed camera in that hall" or "I didn't see you — does that have indicators?" are patronizing and belittling, only serving to make a mobility impaired person more not less 'different'. Don't notice the wheelchair unless you have a valid, direct question or comment. Would you make comments about speed if you were talking about someone's legs? Do you feel the need to comment on someone's glasses? See the wheelchair the same way as you see someone's glasses — a sometimes irritating but nonetheless useful tool for doing what you want and need to do, and something that is no one's business but the person using it.

6 Do not pat or touch the wheelchair user (or the wheelchair) unless you have their permission.

Because they are 'down low' at the height of children, people seem to instinctively pat, touch or tap and for anyone with spinal or back problems, this may be painful; in addition, it is a gesture that can feel patronizing. The same goes for leaning on or touching the wheelchair itself.

7 Offer to help when appropriate. Knowing when to offer a helping hand can be tricky.

Remember that because a person uses a wheelchair, this does not necessarily mean that he or she is in need of assistance. Usually he or she will prefer to remain independent, and is proud of the fact that he or she has learned to adapt well enough to remain so. If you see a situation where they could use your help, ask. Whatever you do, don't move the wheelchair without permission. Even if they're not using the wheelchair, moving it out of their reach without consulting them first is not a good idea.

Be prepared to hear "No". Since many wheelchair users may have been treated condescendingly by strangers in the past, some might seem stand-offish or rude when you offer your assistance. Don't let a rude come-back to your offer of help keep you from offering help to the next person you encounter. Don't pass by a person you can see is struggling just to avoid your offer of help being denied. Some wheelchair users will also accept help on some occasions, but not others. For example, an offer to help push a wheelchair user up a ramp on a nice day may be declined, but that same offer may be accepted on a day that is excessively hot.

8 Learn the location of "accessible" ramps.

Look for them in restrooms, elevators and telephones in a mall, in case you are asked or are giving directions. Never just assume, though, that a person in a wheelchair is not capable of finding out these locations by himself or herself. They know how to use a mall directory as well as you do. But, don't assume that overcoming stairs is the only concern a mobility-impaired person will have; having to go 100 metres to avoid three stairs is often much more of a problem than navigating the three stairs (it's not easy propelling a wheelchair, maneuvering a wheelchair past obstacles like people who stand and talk in the middle of a corridor, or walking on crutches). Ask "What's the easiest way for you to do this?" Listen to and follow their instructions carefully.


9 Respect them even when you're not interacting with them.

Don't be one of those people who makes life difficult for wheelchair users. You don't want to meet someone in a wheelchair while you're sitting in a handicapped seat or while your car is in a handicapped spot. The more you make it a habit to be cognizant of wheelchair users in everyday life, the more comfortable you'll be when you're face to face with someone who happens to use a wheelchair.(Yeah, we don't all need those seats with the handicap sign but people with canes, walkers, crutches etc. do, and some of those people need to use the airport wheelchairs etc. that may be where they switch from the chair to the airport wheelchair, sometimes even blind people use the wheelchairs for a short moment because the stupid person who works for the airport etc. thinks it would be easier to get them to where they need to be. Get the picture?)

Try to be aware of the environment, even if you don't think a person with a disability is in your area. Don't use the accessible toilets as a broom closet, don't put things in the middle of the hall or aisle, and don't use or obstruct handicapped parking spots.
When shopping, be aware of scooter/wheelchair users — try to keep to one side or the other of an aisle, keep your children or companion(s) from walking alongside you abreast forming a wall, and try to not stop short, take a sudden turn or suddenly go backwards. Share the aisle, walk as you would drive, and be aware that wheelchair users don't have brakes and don't like being forced to say things like "Pardon, can I get past?"


10 Don't compare a young wheelchair user to an elderly adult.

"Hey! All you need is pearls and you and Grandma could be on a team..." is rude. Don't do it.


http://www.wikihow.com/Interact-with-a-Person-Who-Uses-a-Wheelchair

1. "You're Really Pretty for Someone in a Wheelchair."

Yes. People actually say this. There's this huge misconception that people in wheelchairs are unattractive, frumpy and sloppy. Well spinal cord injuries and other disabilities don't discriminate against attractive people. Some of the people I know in chairs are totally gorgeous! But honestly that's besides the point. If you're going to compliment someone, that is great! But leave the wheelchair out of it.

2. "I Had to Use a Wheelchair When I Broke My Leg, So I Know Exactly What You're Going Through."

I can't tell you how many times I've struck up a conversation with a total stranger only to hear about that terrible month where their leg was in a cast. They had to use a wheelchair too and so they totally get it. Spinal cord injuries involve a plethora of other issues that don't involve the actual paralysis. So I really hate to sound insensitive, but it gets kind of hard year after year to smile and listen to your short stint with a wheelchair while I'm on a nice outing with my husband.

3. "You're an Inspiration."

There are times where this is OK, but there are also times where this just makes me really uncomfortable. I'll give you an example. One night I was out with my friends at a local club. I was dancing with my girls when a guy walked up and said "you're a real inspiration." In that moment with my friends, I was care free, a normal girl just going out and having fun. But, then I'm reminded that "oh yeah. I'm in a wheelchair and people think it's merely inspiring that I go out."

After years in our chairs, we don't want to be called inspiring for driving to the grocery store, hitting the gym, or attending a sporting event. "You're an inspiration" equates to "If I were you I don't think I'd be able to leave my house" If it inspires you, that's great. But we just don't like to be told how incredible we are for doing the day to day tasks that you do. I'm often told by others that they'd never handle this injury with as much grace. You'd be surprised. This injury doesn't just smite the most strong willed of the human race. And yet a significant majority of us go on with life eventually.

4. "I Was Only Parked There for a Minute."

Don't. Just don't. This is the number one excuse us rollers get when we must confront someone who's illegally parked in a handicap spot. Besides the fact that this usually isn't true, I shouldn't have to wait for an able bodied person to run inside. I run into a handicap parking issue at least once a week. People who need those spots have schedules to meet and places to be as well. Just walk the extra 50 yards because I sure wish I could.

5. "Everything Happens for a Reason."

For many individuals hit with hard times, this very thought pulls them out of depression and gives them hope. To others it's another way of saying "fate wanted you to get hurt so that others would realize that their lives aren't that bad after all." For me? It's neither really. I may disagree but I'm not offended. I believe that sometimes really bad things happen to good people and it is what it is. In some cases you can rise above a tragedy and give it a reason by choosing to make a positive impact. In other cases, it may simply be a horrific event that requires not a purpose, but some time to cope and heal.

6. "Here, Let Me Help You!" [Rushes to My Side Frantically]

Undoubtedly the hurried helper is just trying to be nice! But let me explain the sentiments behind disliking this. When I was injured, a lot of things were taken out of my control. There's a laundry list of things I can no longer do without someone's help and losing independence can take away ones ability to feel "normal" at times. So if I'm at the store and you see me bending down to pick up my cell phone, Just give me a chance to get it. I promise that people in my situation have gotten used to asking for help and so we won't hesitate to ask if we truly need it. Also, we generally don't need help getting into our cars or pushing our chairs. We wouldn't be out alone if we couldn't do it! We appreciate that people want to be helpful, but I almost feel like I need to fight the helpers off so I can learn how to do more things for myself.

7. "It's Good to See You Out."

I'm not talking about a scenario in which I bump into an old friend at a restaurant I'm talking about complete strangers coming up and saying it. I'm not even sure what this one is supposed to mean. Does society think we are all hermits? An overwhelming majority of us leave our house. I promise!

8. "You Have Found Yourself a Real Stand-Up Guy."

The fact that my husband chose to stay with me after my accident is not what makes him a stand up guy because his decision wasn't based on morals. Staying with someone "because it's the right thing to do" is actually in fact the wrong thing to do. You should choose to stay with someone because you love them. plain and simple. So when people shake his hand and tell him what a "real man" he is for staying and then tell me how lucky I am to have him, it leaves a bad taste in our mouths. This is a conversation Chris and I have had with many couples like ourselves. No one wants to be given a high-five for not leaving the side of someone they truly love.

9. "With Your Effort And Attitude, I Know You'll Walk Again."

It doesn't work that way but oh how I wish it did! If a lamp isn't plugged in, I assure you a good attitude will not make it turn on no matter how hard you try to flip it on. Some people's injuries are less severe and so, for them, a rigorous therapy schedule will heed results. But for many of us, it just won't happen without science. There's plenty of people who have recovered function who have a bad attitude and millions still in their chairs who have lots of determination. If you think effort and attitude is a solution for a cure, then next time you're in a thunderstorm call me after you've wished it away.

10. "Anything in Your Preschool Teacher Voice."

I am not sure what makes people who I meet for the first time want to talk to me in that high pitched voice, but it's kind of awkward. And I'm not talking about sweet old ladies. I'm talking about individuals that are around my age. If you were meeting an adult who doesn't use a wheelchair, you wouldn't say (insert preschool teacher voice here) "it's so nice to meet you sweetie!" I smile and return the excitement, but I'd much rather have a more age appropriate interaction.
