WAVA’s Pre-departure Briefings

Come and find out more about your WAVA programme, talk to the team, meet other participants, and ask us any questions that you need to know before you go.

Why attend a Pre-departure briefing?

We strongly recommend that you attend these briefings, as they are an integral part of the WAVA service, and the perfect way for you to find out everything you need to know.

  • Meet other volunteers who in some cases, will be going to the same project as you
  • Ask as many questions as you like and get answers from an experienced team member
  • Get reassurance about what to do if you run into difficulties or if something goes wrong
  • Gain peace of mind by meeting our experienced and knowledgeable team
  • Parents can speak to any member of our team and share their worries with other parents!
  • ...plus enjoy the generous buffet provided by our local catering partner "FEAST"

Please confirm your attendance to us by emailing Susana Barbeiro on sbarbeiro@workandvolunteer.com. Please specify who, if anyone, you will be bringing with you (up to two people)*.
