Mission

Italy is both a destination and a transitional country for refugees.  We will learn more about the refugee journey, including humanitarian and integration work, before and while a resettlement country is being determined.  

Ministry Partner: BGAV, WMU NC, WMUV, European Baptist Federation

Volunteers Needed: 6-7 Women

What kind of volunteers are we looking for?

Missions minded individuals who are interested in learning more about the refugee journey.  There may be opportunity to help with small projects, however, this is primarily an educational trip with the goal of understanding the refugee journey process and how we can make a difference internationally and in Virginia and North Carolina. We will likely travel using public transportation, automobile, and walking and we will have long days.  Accommodations will be safe and basic. Lodging will be at least two to a room.

All volunteers need to be collaborative and flexible.

Required:

• Attend Final Planning Meeting Date: TBA

• Secure Passport

• Inoculations as per required by the Center for Disease Control
