50 Students Graduated
In December, WAVS students, relatives, and community leaders gathered at the Bissau campus to celebrate 50 graduates completing their courses. Read more here.
WAVS is hiring more teachers
As WAVS continues to grow, we are hiring and developing more teachers to meet the needs of our expanding programs. One of those teachers is Abel N’bali.
Abel began his journey at WAVS as an English student, completing all five levels before continuing his training as an intern under teachers Mario Djedjo and Rivaldo Mendes. Today, Abel is part of our English teaching team, using his skills to serve students—many older than him—who have been impressed by his professionalism. His story reflects how WAVS is investing in local leaders as our schools continue to expand.
Soccer brings the community together
The WAVS school organized and sponsored a local soccer tournament with the games played on WAVS campus (the welding department built the soccer goals). This initiative has helped us increase engagement and exposure with the community.

Landscaping is underway at the Bissau campus! When finished, students will enjoy shaded areas with benches, walking paths, and trees for relaxing and gathering between classes.
Devotions are an important part of every class at WAVS. All students from different programs meet every Friday for a time or reflection and prayer.
Welding students built these booths that they'll use to help future welding students learn how to weld in a safe environment.
The welding students have been busy this term making commissioned projects. These cabinets were made by the morning and afternoon shifts under supervision from the welding instructors.
Each December, we celebrate our staff with a special Christmas gift. This year, every team member received a bag filled with ingredients to create a festive meal to share with their families and neighbors.
A new guard house was recently completed at the Bissau campus, helping formalize the process for guests and students to enter and exit the campus.

SPOTLIGHT
Meet Cadogo
This fall, WAVS welcomed the largest class in our history, including the first students to enroll in our new carpentry program. Students like Cadogo.
Ever since he was young, Cadogo has loved carpentry. Now, for the first time, he’s getting the hands-on training he needs to turn that passion into a career.
“This first quarter has been very good,” says Cadogo. “I’ve already learned the basics to better understand the profession.”
Like many students, Cadogo dreams of opening a small workshop so he can serve his community, support his parents and siblings, and one day provide for a family of his own.
