AlertUpcoming Events and Fundraising NewsAugust 2, 2010This article is part of the Spring 2010 issue of the MSF Alert newsletter. Work with MSFRecruitment information sessions will be held in these cities between April and June 2010:
All prospective medical and non-medical aid workers are invited to a presentation and question-and-answer session to learn more about how to become part of MSF’s field work. A human resources officer will be on hand to discuss requirements and the recruitment process. If none of the locations listed above are convenient for you, please consider participating in one of the recruitment webinars that are scheduled regularly. For dates and details, and to register for these events, visit the MSF website. PARLEZ-VOUS FRANÇAIS?MSF is in urgent need of French-speaking staff to provide assistance in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, Niger, and Haiti, where some of MSF’s largest projects are located. “Successful applicants who meet MSF’s criteria and speak French will be eligible for more positions, and will usually be matched more quickly with an assignment,” notes MSF-USA Field Human Resources Director Nick Lawson. “Nearly half of MSF’s available field positions are in francophone countries.” If you are interested in contributing your professional—and French—skills to MSF’s medical humanitarian work, we encourage you to visit the MSF website for more information about MSF recruitment.

We hope you will consider joining our Legacy Society by including MSF in your will or living trust. We also accept beneficiary designations on retirement plans, brokerage accounts, and life insurance policies. If you have already included MSF in you estate plans, please let us know so we can thank you and include you in the Legacy Society.
