  • Requests
    This is where you will find calling notices for volunteers, participants and helpers for different projects across the globe. Where ever possible HAVOCA does its best to try and guarentee the ethical, moral and legal position of the researchers but ultimately it is down to the individual to make sure they feel safe volunteering and taking part in any specific requests. If in doubt ask.
    To advertise for volunteers in this section please contact the Trustee.

  • Introductions
    Before joining our community we request that your first post is a brief introduction. Once your post has been approved you will be able to access the rest of our forum. Your introduction does not have to be a life story, just a simple hello, as much or as little as you'd like to share about yourself and perhaps your aspirations about membership at HAVOCA.
    This section allows us to welcome new members, provide a starting point for the community and make sure any 'undesirables' are kept away from the boards.
    We look forward to welcoming you.

  • HAVOCA Pen Pal Community
    Some survivors prefer not to post publically. This section allows those shy, more cautious members, to request Pen Pals. To request a Pen Pal simply start a new topic and express how you'd like to be contacted; either by PM, email or reply to the post. BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT REVEALING EMAIL ADDRESSES IN POSTS. In most instances PMs should suffice until freindship and trust has been built. Any questions or concerns please contact info@havoca.org
