How to Sign-Up for Go MAD
Important Notes
Registration, administration and training for Go MAD in Tanzania, is managed through our partners Tearfund and Mission Direct. Also note the following…
- The Go MAD in Tanzania programme is a 3 month and not a 4 month programme due to Tanzanian Visa restrictions. Keep this in mind as all the Tearfund literature refers to the 4 month programmes.
- Applications for the 2010 programme are currently open; the application deadline is 30th September 2009.
The Sign-Up Process
- Download the Application Pack from Tearfund’s Application Documents page.
- Print off and fill in the application form, and pass on the reference forms to your referees.
- Ask your pastor or church leader to complete and return one reference form to us. The other should be completed and returned to us by a work supervisor or tutor. We need these returned to us before we can offer you a place.
- Send in the application form together with two passport photos, a black and white photocopy of the photo page from your passport and a £50 deposit (non-refundable). Please make cheques payable to Tearfund.
- Await an invitation for one of the interview and briefing events.
- Once the selection/interview event has been held, we will contact you to say whether we can offer you a place on the programme (this is provisional and subject to orientation and also medical clearance).
- Once you have accepted this provisional place you will be invited to an orientation/training week for the team you are provisionally placed on. This event acts as a final selection process and also a chance for you to explore over the week if this thing is really for you. At the orientation we will give you a detailed preparation pack, telling you all you need to know and do to get ready to go.
- To confirm your place on the programme, you need to send us a further deposit after the orientation to pay for your airfare. Again this is non-refundable in the event of you deciding not to travel.
- Do everything required in order to get ready (checklist and dates are given in the preparation pack you will receive at orientation).
- Complete your payment for the trip one month prior to leaving.
- Change lives – both yours and other people’s.
