In countries where there are no SA groups, SAICO depends on member volunteers to carry the SA message to those who seek help. SA’s International Committee (IC) is attempting to organize those volunteers to focus on specific areas where help is needed. We are currently looking for volunteers to answer inquiries from several countries.

Specifically, we are looking for volunteers who might have an affinity for any of the following countries:

• Brazil: Portuguese speaker preferred.
• Japan: some knowledge of Japanese preferred.
• Egypt and Arabian Peninsula: Arabic speaker preferred.
• French-speaking Africa: familiarity with French (especially African French) is desirable.
• Pakistan: Pakistanis speak English and Urdu. The sixth most populous country in the world.
• India: Hindi and English spoken. Home to over a billion people.
• Nigeria: English is the official language. Most populous country in Africa.

In all of our outreach activities, the IC recognizes the responsibility of maintaining SA unity. Because each Country Coordinator will serve as the point of contact for a whole country, volunteers are needed who strongly support SA’s sobriety definition. In addition, the ideal candidates will have at least three years’ SA sobriety, have worked the Twelve Steps of SA with a sponsor, and understand the structure and function of SA meetings.

If you are interested in volunteering to serve as a Country Coordinator, or for more information, please contact the International Committee at saico@sa.org.
