The Bissau campus is the third WAVS school to open in Guinea-Bissau.
The Bissau campus officially opened on April 19 after years of hard work! The first group to attend the new campus was made up of 22 computer students and 10 English students. You can read the behind-the-scenes story of how we opened the Bissau campus here!
WAVS welding interns and staff constructed and installed the water tower at the Bissau campus.
Over 30 students, staff, and community leaders were interviewed by WAVS staff and volunteers.
During the Spring term, WAVS team members and a volunteer film team from the US met with graduates, students, and community leaders to learn more about the impact WAVS vocational schools have had in the local community.
