Assistance For The Blind

Hi there is a lady by the name of Angela Swamber who is blind and has a son Aron both of Enterprise Trinidad and Tobago who has Cerebral Palsy.There are no specialised facilities in that country and time is running out since it is getting harder to take care of her son.So they need in assistance in migrating into Canada so they could get better treatment facilities.Can you please tell me how to get this assistance via the Canadian Embassy or something?Also they would be like to be on the Oprah Winfrey or a Tv interview show.She can be contacted at 18686650967,18687858688,18683679174,email her at aswamber59@yahoo.com and write to her at 12 Boodram Trace Enterprise Trinidad and Tobago West Indies.Please reply to me regarding this matter.

If they want to be on TV like Oprah etc you'll probably have better luck contacting the show directly to see if they'll help.

The Canadian Embassy should have a website where you can obtain basic info on immigration and the types of visas available. I'm not sure if they have it but the US has a medical visa which may cover one or the other of them. If it does try getting it for the son as the mother would need to go as the guardian.

How old is the son. If he is of school age and there is a school willing to take him in Canada you could get him a student visa, I'd say the mum would be able to get a visa as the guardian or she could enrol in adult classes at a community college or college and go for a student visa herself as well.

The main way to find out what is available is to contact the Canadian Embassy and see what their immigration requirements are and what type of visas they have.

I have eyesight, but I can't see any further away than 4" from my face. Everything is such a blur. I can't cross streets by myself because I can't read the signs or stop lights :-(

As I understand it, you need a doctor to ceritify that you are disabled.

Syria's Antiaircraft System Most Advanced In World. Syria has gone on a profligate buying spree, spending vast sums on Russian systems, "considered the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology."


Syria now "possesses the most crowded antiaircraft system in the world," with "more than 200 antiaircraft batteries of different types," some of which are so new that they have been installed in Syria "before being introduced into Russian operation service."

Yet

An F15/16 attack there is not a tiptoe across the border, but a deep, deep penetration of Syrian airspace. And guess what happened with the Russian super-hyper-sophisticated cutting edge antiaircraft missile batteries when that penetration took place on September 6th.


Nothing.


El blanko. Silence. The systems didn't even light up, gave no indication whatever of any detection of enemy aircraft invading Syrian airspace, zip, zero, nada. The Israelis (with a little techie assistance from us) blinded the Russkies

were talking about Russia and Syria here

I will soon be going for my certification for teaching English as a second/foreign language at the Boston Language Institute, and then would like to secure a teaching position in Japan. I am wondering how blind people are treated/thought of in Japan? I do not fit the stereotype... I use power tools (table saw, router, band saw, etc) without assistance, despite being totally blind, and, except for airports when I am usually exhausted and/or in an incredible time crunch, prefer to do things on my own, not as a point that I can, but rather because of my personality. I understand that there are some sort of grooves in the sidewalks in Japan for blind people; I would find these more of an annoyance than a help, I am quite certain, and wonder how the Japanese feel about blidn people not using them. I would particularly like to hear from Japanese people. I am very adaptable, and figure I can handle whatever situations come along, since as human beings we rarely have a choice in the matter, but forewarned is forearmed, I always say. Thanks for the help!

Hey there, I am blind too and I was interested in doing acupuncture. The acupuncturist I know in N.J. told me that japanese acupuncture is something that a lot of blind people do over there in Japan.

When I heard that, I was all impressed, thinking that any country who promotes their blind to work with needles has got to be a brilliant country. Here in the US, everyone I've met has expressed incredible doubt and fear of me trying to pursue such a career, well, everyone except that acupuncturist who told me about the japanese.

Good luck and have fun if you do go over there. I had a friend who was severely visually impaired, she went to japan several years ago to do an internship and really enjoyed her experience. She had a guide dog though, so I don't know about those grooves in the sidewalks. I know that would really bother me since I use a white cane. There's nothing like having your cane get stuck in ruts every step you take, I guess, if that's what you mean by grooves in the sidewalk.

Maybe you can google and find a listserve of some sort to join. You may have better luck connecting with Japanese people that way? Maybe the school you'll be teaching at would have some resources that they could suggest?
