Students have already started hands-on projects like welding this gate for the temporary welding workshop.
All 20 available slots were quickly filled by students eager to learn this important new job skill.
The Bissau campus has already trained over 100 students!
Students welded the metal framework for the desks before attaching wooden tops.
The project helped students gain practical skills and furnish the new classroom building.
Dalton graduated from the welding course at the WAVS school in Canchungo in 2021. A year after he completed the course, WAVS conducted a survey and asked graduates about the impact the school had on their lives.
When asked about the spiritual impact of the school, Dalton said, “Before attending this school, I did not care about the Word of God, and I was hopeless about my life and my future. When the teacher shared about Jesus and his hope, it helped me a lot.”
The graduate survey also alerted staff to the fact Dalton had moved to Bissau. As staff prepared to start the welding course at the Bissau campus, they realized they would need an assistant to help run the class. The position was offered to Dalton and he accepted. Now, he helps lead devotionals with students taking the same course that changed his life.
