When a mission to Africa is announced, we always have requests of volunteers who want to participate. Although there are always very motivated young people who want to get involved, we must respect a rule which allows us to guarantee the quality of the mission; We must have enough experienced specialists to manage the mission. Young people will follow and learn from specialists. The circumstances in which we have to work are sometimes very specific and require professionalism, knowledge and creativity. There is little room for beginners.2.To guarantee sustainability, the daily management of the burn & disaster center is done by and for the local people. Our role is to support their activities. We organize missions, during which we carry out necessary operations and during which we give courses to refresh skills. It is obvious that during these missions, we also carry out checks on all the facilities, as well as the care routes. These assessments serve to increase the independence of the center(s).Our goals1. Building specialized burn & disaster centers following WHO guidelines, 2. Offering qualitative specialized burns3. Training, continuous education and guidance of all local staff (Clinical, Technical, Logistics) for the management of burn & disaster victims.4.
