Logistical Arrangements
Once we have received your completed form we will arrange accommodation and airport pickup upon request. Please note that accommodation is allocated on a “first-come, first-served” basis, therefore we cannot guarantee that accommodation will be available at short notice. The cost of accommodation is £5 per night. Airport pickup can be provided upon request for £30 roundtrip. All non-residents medical elective students are required to pay an administrative charge of 300 Euros which should be received upon arrival.
IMPORTANT:
- Women Empowerment Project International does not cover students on attachment with liability insurance. All students are required to take out personal accident insurance for the duration of their stay at the Charity.
- You must notify us before hand if your Institution has any Terms/Conditions attached to doing electives abroad. This will enable us to study these terms/conditions to ascertain whether they are agreeable to us or not.
Registration
Please return the completed form accompanied by a cover letter explaining:
Why you wish to have an attachment at WEPI the Gambia;
What skills or knowledge you could bring to your attachment;
Which unit or area you would want to be attached in (“any” or “all” as an answer is not sufficient);
Dates when you would want to have the attachment.
Unless you are a school leaver applying for “Work Experience” you should also include a letter from your Educational Institution recommending you for the attachment.
All attachments are for a minimum period of 6 weeks. Placements of lesser periods are not beneficial to the student and are impractical.
