French and Community Work in Senegal - 2 week volunteering 'taster'

2-Week Specials, French and Community Work in Senegal

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 practise 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 colourful environment for children to return to after their school holidays. 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 organise a football tournament.

Volunteering in Senegal in your Summer Holidays

2-Week Specials, French and Community Work in Senegal

Your weekend trip takes you over the border into the Mauritanian desert, where you have plenty of opportunity to relax and socialise at a tented camp in a completely unspoilt area of blue sea and pristine sand dunes.

The price of this placement is £995, with an additional charge of £395 if you want to extend for an extra week. This includes accommodation, food, insurance, in-country transportation and support, work experience and leisure activities.

French and Community Work in Senegal also runs as two separate parts of our standard projects, for anyone aged 17 and up. For more information please follow these links: French Language Courses in Senegal and Care in Senegal.
