This was an unforgettable experience. My host family was amazing and I felt so immersed in the project. This was my first time in Africa and I'm so glad I had this opportunity. Working with kids and teaching them English and playing soccer is an experience I'll never forget. The coordinator did a great job at giving us different activities to do while we were there and helping us having a proper experience of the project.

I did this the project through the project in Yayem, the project it was an amazing experience. Mouhamadou coordinated everything well, balancing work and fun. My job was teaching children English and organizing games and activities, plus lots of football. Weekends were free, and volunteers planned excursions together. Everyone in the project was kind and hospitable, especially my host family. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to experience rich Senegalese the project. Unforgettable!

Regarding the host family, I had a wonderful experience. From the very first day, they welcomed me as one of the family and made me feel part of the community. They even adapted my meals despite not knowing I was coeliac, as this information had apparently not been passed on by the coordinator.
However, I cannot say the same about the organization. Communication was lacking, especially regarding schedules, materials we should bring, and, above all, the Dakar excursion, which I would not recommend at all.

Working with the children and living with my wonderful host family made this experience unforgettable. However, the organization was extremely poor. I received almost no information before arriving, the local coordinator didn't speak English and spent lessons on his phone. I only discovered later that many children spoke only Wolof, making teaching impossible. The Dakar weekend was also a scam: paid activities never happened, the "guide" only took us to scam markets, and the promised hotel was replaced by a filthy, windowless one. I recommend the project, but not this organization.
