WAVS staff began construction on a temporary workshop made out of shipping containers at the WAVS campus in Bissau. This workshop area will serve as the temporary home to the welding program until the permanent workshop is constructed.

Construction is progressing on the second classroom building at the Bissau campus. This building will host additional computer and language courses once complete.

For years, translators have been working in one of the office spaces at the Gabu campus to translate the Bible into Fula, a language found in West and Central Africa. So far, they have translated 5 books of the Bible and anticipate another 20 years of work before the project is complete. 

Thanks to the generosity of donors, the first classroom building at the Bissau campus is outfitted with brand new desks, chairs, projectors, and computers!

The Gabu campus is in full bloom! WAVS teacher, Moise, planted flowers at the Gabu campus immediately after moving to the area to run the English class. Several months later, his hard work paid off with a beautiful array of blooming flowers!

All hands were on deck to help open the Bissau campus! In the weeks leading up to the opening, WAVS staff and teachers did everything from arranging classrooms and offices to completing a week-long teacher training session.
