| Description: |
Based in the picturesque town of St Louis in northern Senegal, this placement combines intensive French lessons with the chance to experience a taste of Senegalese culture and contribute to the local community. This is a great project for language students and anyone wanting to view a different culture from the inside.
You will receive four hours of French tuition a day. Classes are interactive and you will be given encouragement every step of the way. You can put your new knowledge into practice on a daily basis as you get to know St Louis and mix with local people. Whether you want to master the basics or improve on the French you already know, the teaching will be adjusted to your level.
During your placement you will be involved in renovating and decorating classrooms in a local kindergarten, creating a clean and colorful environment for children to return to after their school vacation. You also have the chance to work with some of the street-children who live in and around St Louis. You will be able to prepare nourishing meals for them and even organize a soccer tournament.
Your weekend trip takes you over the border into the Mauritanian desert, where you have plenty of opportunity to relax and socialize at a tented camp in beautiful area of blue sea and pristine sand dunes.

| Care & Community in Senegal |
| Organization: | Location: |
| Projects Abroad | Saint-Louis |
| Qualifications: |
| Volunteers may find themselves working alongside local staff in the main classes, or taking smaller groups of children aside to focus on specific activities. Your duties will involve teaching basic numeracy, building vocabulary in French and sometimes English, and organizing arts and sports activities to improve coordination and motor skills. You will have an important role in adding to the staff's repertoire of songs, games and activities, ensuring that your contribution lives on beyond your placement. The children themselves will be particularly appreciative if you prepare coloring-in sheets or organize arts and crafts sessions. |
| Description: |
We would really like you to participate in a Care & Community placement in French-speaking Senegal. Working on our projects in and around Saint Louis, you will inevitably encounter basic facilities and limited resources but also a warm welcome and lots of laughter.
From 9am to 1pm, all volunteers on Care & Community projects work in local kindergartens with children aged from 3 to 6 years old. Many parents are very keen to send their children to these kindergartens, often struggling to pay the small fees charged, and it's not unusual to find classes of up to 45 children. However, local teachers tend to be overstretched and poorly trained, and have very few ideas as to how to work productively with such large numbers of children.
In Saint Louis there are a large number of street children known as 'talibés'. These children receive no formal education and are forced to spend much of their time begging for scraps of food and small change. Many Projects Abroad volunteers choose to spend some of their spare time helping at "And Taxuwu Talibé," a talibé drop-in centre on the mainland of St Louis. Volunteers prepare and serve at least two meals a week, often to over 150 children at a time. You may also want to help the children with activities such as brushing their teeth and washing their clothes, and just spend time with them drawing pictures or playing. Volunteers also sometimes take the children to the nearby beach or arrange evenings of wrestling and football....

1. Quels projets sont disponibles au Sénégal?
MondoChallenge, en partenariat avec la communauté de Toubab Dialaw, offre la possibilité à des volontaires francophones d’aider les enseignants dans une école maternelle ainsi que dans une école primaire. Le gouvernement Sénégalais fait beaucoup d’efforts pour développer le système éducatif et les programmes sont pour la plupart bien établis. Les volontaires sont là pour assister les professeurs, partager leur expérience et aider à enseigner le français mais aussi d’autres matières comme les mathématiques par exemple. Il est également toujours très apprécié si les volontaires peuvent participer à la mise en place d’activités extra scolaires, pour les enfants mais aussi pour toutes les personnes désireuses d’apprendre.
L’objectif du volontariat et de MondoChallenge est de promouvoir l’éducation et de faire en sorte, en travaillant en équipe avec les professeurs locaux, de donner toujours plus de moyens et de chances aux élèves de Toubab Dialaw, de développer leurs connaissances et leurs aptitudes.
