Welding students built a steel frame for one of the new campus signs and installed it in front of the welding workshop across the street from the WAVS campus in Canchungo. The signs were imported on a shipping container sent to Guinea-Bissau last year.
The welding program had 20 students enroll in the fall term – the highest welding course enrollment ever!
During the fall term, 108 students enrolled at the WAVS vocational school in Canchungo, which exceeded the previous fall enrollment record. School staff are well on their way to meeting their goal of training a total of 500 students during the 2021-2022 school year.
For Christmas, WAVS staff received custom tote bags and food supplies at a staff Christmas celebration. Providing food supplies allows families to be able to spend money on gifts for their families for Christmas.
Nazario Manga was hired as the new French teacher at the WAVS school in Canchungo. Nazaire studied in Senegal (a French-speaking country) and received his master’s degree in French language arts. Previously, he taught French for two years at another school.
