Great experience with the project. Would definitely agree that it is complete cultural the project. Both the community and family were unbelievable. Mohamadou lives in the USA, and organised from abroad. Having said this, he can find a good position that suits each volunteer. Thank you for the experience!

I spent three weeks in Fimela and the host family was the highlight of my stay. They welcomed me warmly and made me feel at home, sharing their daily life and the project. Another very special part was the time with the kids: around 15-25 children full of energy and joy. We painted, danced, played and laughed together every day, and those moments gave me so much in return. Living simply, close to nature and surrounded by such people, made this a truly meaningful experience.

Volunteering at Centre Xam-Xamle in Fimela has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The host family was incredibly welcoming, caring, and reliable. From the very beginning, I felt very safe and loved. At the school, I participated in the Summer Camp, which included 3 hours in the morning with the younger kids (ages 4-12), and 2 hours in the afternoon with the older ones (ages 12-16). We did French and art in the morning, and English and Spanish in the afternoon. The students are wonderful, eager to learn and full of joy. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to everyone!

Supporting the AMFE organization in Agnam, the project, was a wonderful challenge. However, volunteers must be aware of the risks and prepare for them. I recommend always being transparent about the challenges of being in such remote places with many unmet basic needs and vast cultural differences. Always have a well-prepared risk map with the support of your host. This will help you know what you should pack, how much money you'll spend monthly, and what safety measures you should take to protect your health.

I had an issue and couldn't make it to the project. I informed Mohamadou more than month in advance, and he kept assuring me from the very beginning that I would be refunded. At first, he said it would take a few days, then a few weeks, then by the end of the week… and now, I've had no news at all. He promised I'd get my money back, but my messages are no longer opened or read. I haven't heard anything since. It's really disappointing that it's come to this. In the very first email, it was clearly stated that in case of any issue, a refund would be provided, don't believe that. Be careful.

Taking the step to participate in this the project was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we've made. the project takes place in a school in Gandigal. The hospitality from the host family was outstanding, and the volunteer residence exceeded our expectations. Our main activity was teaching the children in the morning, we found it quite necessary to have an intermediate level of French to carry out these activities in a dynamic and engaging way. We would also like to thank Mohamadou for his commitment to the volunteers. He was always attentive to us and helped with any problems that arose.

The experience at Shiloh Christian Academy in the village of Gandigal has been a life changing, one that I will never forget. I had the opportunity of meeting so many impactful people and living so many experiences while being fully immersed in the Senegalese the project and lifestyle. After the end of my trip, I can definitely say I have done everything I wanted to do and even more than that. I wanted to thank Mohamadou who has always been supportive from abroad, and the whole team at the school in Gandigal who cooked us wonderful food everyday. I would strongly recommend the project for everyone.

Mouhamadou, Grâce and Moussa were really organized to welcome us properly. Grace explains to me how maintaining the plant and tree. And we elaborate a the project for children to enjoy the holiday's time. Unfortunately we hadn't finished the mission because Vi felt sick but it was a great time and an honor to be there and see what Grace's family built

The experience, in Gandigal in the summer school, has been very nice, the children are great, the house and the school are in the same building, near Gandigal you have beaches and other places nearby to visit, the Senegalese that I have known are very nice and help you with everything you need, I will return to the project

Due to the children having holidays (July - October) the project was not able to continue as planned, but Mouhamadou handled this really well. He contacted me in time and made sure to find another project that would also fit my wishes. I can't mention anything about this volunteering project, but I can say that Mouhamadou took care of me until I got home safely. He went out of his way to make sure I was enjoying my stay. Thanks Mouhamadou, you're a great person and I hope to collaborate again. Can't wait to get to know the project and help you in making the world a better place!
