Tribewanted: Vorovoro

VOROVORO WAVU

The Vorovoro Wavu will be an extension of the current ‘gapper’ role. ‘Wavu’ means bridge and this is exactly what we need from this person – to provide the on-island social bridge between visiting tribe members, elected chief and on-island team and family. This is much more than a compost cleaning role now…its a front-of-beach, cross-cultural islander. Here is the criteria for the current stage of the project. If you think you’ve got what it takes email us why today.

Each Vorovoro Wavu works for four months on Vorovoro and in return receives bed and board and weekly allowance of $100. If you would like to be the next Vorovoro Wavu please send a relevant CV, a picture of you in action, and a short summary of why you’re the person for the job to island@tribewanted.com Webcasts also welcome.
