Jobs, Internships, and Volunteer Opportunities
We Can Do currently receives only a few announcements for jobs, internships, and volunteer opportunities relevant for people who wish to work with, or on behalf of, people with disabilities in developing countries. Usually the deadlines for these pass by quickly. I try to list current openings here, but cannot guarantee that all positions are still available. Also check the archives (see right-hand navigation bar) for more recent announcements or subscribe to We Can Do to learn of future opportunities.
- Can’t find the job, volunteer, or internship opportunity you want at We Can Do? This listing is NOT meant to be comprehensive of all available opportunities. Try other websites such as idealist.org. Also try inquiring directly with individual organizations that interest you–check the very bottom of this page for a list of links to international disability-oriented organizations.
- Application deadlines for most job, volunteer, and internship opportunities pass by very quickly. Double check the archives for this month to see if any have been posted very recently that might not yet be listed here. Also consider subscribing to We Can Do to make sure you won’t miss future opportunities.

Announce YOUR event or training opportunity
If you are aware of an upcoming conference, on-line forum, or other event; or call for papers (for conferences, journals, book chapters, etc); or education or training opportunity; or a job, internship, or volunteer opportunity, please let me know. You can leave a comment in the comment area below, or you can send me an email at ashettle [at] patriot.net.
Events, call for papers, etc., should be relevant to the concerns of people with disabilities in developing countries. Local or national level events will usually be posted only if located in a developing country. International events generally should have some relevance to people with disabilities in developing countries. Training and educational opportunities should generally either be targeted at people with disabilities from developing countries or should be targeted at professionals who wish to work with them. If you’re not sure if your event or opportunity qualifies, or if you think an exception is warranted, then please do talk with me.
But We Can Do is not just meant to be a board for posting announcements. Please do see my Guideline for writers for other things I would like to be able to publish here. I’m especially interested in pragmatic resources that can be put to immediate use in the field to help people with disabilities living in poverty in developing countries. For example, best-practice (and failed-practice) case studies of projects gone well (or gone poorly); toolkits and training kits; checklists that offer guidance on disability inclusion; etc.

Nothing about the upcoming DeafRead conference?
DT
24 December 2007
DT, to be honest, I had not yet heard of the deafread conf, so if you truly feel it is appropriate to the goals of We Can Do, please do enlighten me.
But to clarify the purpose of We Can Do (which you can also learn about by clicking on “About We Can Do” and Why We Can Do” in the top navigation bar), this blog is focused on disability and INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT — meaning it focuses on concerns related to Deaf and disabled people in DEVELOPING (not industrialized) countries, and generally on issues related to fighting poverty, human rights, education, etc. But with sensitivity to the fact that certain challenges are unique to, or greater and immensely more complex in, developing countries. (For example, in some countries, if you want to ensure access to interpreting services in university classrooms, you first need to have deaf people in primary school. Then secondary school. Then graduating from secondary school. Because there’s no point in having interpreters at university if there are no deaf students ready to use them. And you need to have sign language interpreters in the country. Which means training them. Which means having people with the right skills to train them. Including of course deaf adults. Which, oh, means they need a basic education first to help prepare them for training others. Which means you need more deaf children being allowed to attend primary school again … Which asides from all the usual deaf-related challenges of helping parents and teachers recognize the true potential of a deaf child may also involve installing gender segregated bathrooms so that menustrating girls need not allow embarassment to keep them at home for days each month, or helping families gain easier access to clean water so children can spend time going to school and studying, not fetching water.
In other words, I tend to leave out conferences that seem primarily geared to the needs and interests of middle class people in industrialized conferences. There are already plenty of those around, and plenty of avenues for advertising or finding them. But not as many conferences geared toward the needs of people from developing countries.

I have the greatest interest to be involved on Human right confences from now up to the end of my life as
I am highly indebted for protecting child`s Rights in Tanzania.
My great concern is that:-
Children need safer life. Safe child’s life is crucial for cognitive, social and emotional development. Therefore, it is important that we take every step necessary to ensure that children grow up in environments where their social, emotional and educational needs are met. Children who grow up in environments where their developmental needs are not met are at an increased risk for compromised health and safety, learning and developmental delays.
Children have problems with aggression, a remarkably persistent personality characteristic, with aggression at age eight reliably predicting adult criminality. It is needed to know more about risks for childhood aggression and resilience in the face of such risks. Mostly, boys from urban areas are arrested for crime before and by the age of 18. This is a problem from aggressiveness in early childhood or later, poses stronger research challenges, and requires wholly the strongest responses from society. More research on the circumstances of poor families, the experiences of their children growing up and as young adults, and their opportunities for participation in mainstream society is necessary to inform interventions at the level of the individual, the community, and the society.
Failure to invest time and resources during children’s early years may have long term effects on the foster care, health care, and education systems. Therefore, it is my devoted interest to ensure that children develop in safe, loving, and secured environments.

Dear Editor! What a wonderful resource this is! Please post our announcement (our audience spans 21 countries!)!

Let me know what you think! I am sure the universe looks kindly upon you and your good works. Regards, Rosanna
The One Voice Northeast Regional Conference & Forum is unique: its DNA contains the blueprint for action, interaction, activism, and advocacy for positive change in education. Typical One Voice attendees are impassioned and invested in the event’s outcomes, perhaps the most important one of which is the presentations by ELC (Education Leadership Council) facilitators. ELC meetings are a opportunity for educators to come together, identify the most significant issues in education from their diverse experience and devise practical solutions for them. Most importantly, the results do not become static documents with no outcomes. Rather, the results are compiled and form the nucleus and inspiration for the Declaration of Equity and Excellence, a powerful tool being written by One Voice participants for the education and guidance of administrators, politicians, and other decision-makers in education going forward. The excellent, thought provoking results of the ELC brainstorming sessions, the hallmark of One Voice events, are dynamic, incredibly informative and confirmed the philosophy of the organization: Educators are the (SMEs) subject matter experts when it comes to improving learning and teaching, and when asked can provide the answers to the important questions. Based on the great success of the ELC meetings, and the important directives they yielded, it has been decided that they will be a part of all future One Voice events. What started in San Francisco is on its way across the country and around the world. We hope you will join us and further this important work by contributing your thoughts, your experience, your ideas, and your VOICE!
In San Francisco in summer 2008 at a One Voice event, groups of educators took on the task of identifying the most critical issues in education today, labored over practical, expert solutions, and presented them in an outstanding show of solidarity and active commitment to positive change. What began there is being continued in New York, then Santa Fe, San Francisco, Denver, and Seattle. You are being invited to be part of it.

Dear All,
First of all I would like to thankful
to this websit that it is so concerned with
disable people and very effective means of
communication to the network of different organizations
and people around the world.
I would only mention a very little
request to all in touch with this website and
I need response and I hope this will give me
a respones.
I am visually impaired person with
an eye disorder Rp in which a person faces
gradual loss of vision and ultimately gets
blindness and there is no cure in the world
for this disease.
I live in a very poor and vulnerable country and I have done M.sc International Relations but
after so much strugfle and have such a prestigious
and important degree,I have still not got a job
in my country Pakistan where the survival for
ordinary people is very hard and you can imagine
the situations for disable persons like me.
I contacted a lot of organizations
around the world but could not get any response
and I am very optamistic that this messagge will
really help me and I want to pursue higher studies
in my subject and useful training for survival
but sitll helpless and belong to a poor family
and I can not afford any cost for trainings,
conferences and hihgers studies and finally a
job.
Please listen to my request whoever is
in touch with this website.please help me
please help me
Thanks,
