    Over het programma

    Work in a drop-in care centre for street children, run by knowledgeable locals, and help to care for and educate young children.

    The Care and Education project addresses the Talibé problem with a social approach.
    Talibé children (Senegalese street children) often experience precarious conditions and little affection in their daily life. For this reason, the aim of the Care and Education programme is to offer the Talibé children a safe and protected environment in which they can rest and play, and also experience appreciation and care.

    The programme combines primary health care with games and creative activities. At the same time it includes educational elements that are taught in a supportive and playful way. In this programme, volunteers work together with local Senegalese experts in the drop-in care centre in St. Louis, where Talibé Children are welcome to spend time during the day. The centre also provides the children with a good meal every week, generally on Thursdays.

    Dagelijkse activiteiten

    A typical day of a volunteer in this project would look as follows: you wake up in the morning at your host family's home, where you have your own room. You enjoy a typical West African breakfast. After breakfast, you walk to the project center, located quite near your host family's home. There, you meet your supervisor. Your volunteer work begins at 9:00 a.m.: you tidy up the center and prepare everything for the children's arrival. Today's schedule includes French, math, basic English lessons, playing games, drawing, colouring or lesson planning. The children arrive, and you help set up the classroom. Once all the children are settled and welcomed, the lesson begins. Today, the children will learn the alphabet. With your supervisor and another volunteer, you go through the alphabet, and the children practice the letters. After learning the alphabet, you read them a children's book. At 12:30 pm, you'll enjoy a long afternoon break. You can have lunch in a West African setting, go to the beach, the market, or the pool, or simply relax with the other volunteers. From 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm, your project will resume. You might participate in providing first aid to injured talibé children and assist an ASF healthcare professional. In the evening, you can have dinner with your host family or go to a restaurant with other volunteers, then enjoy a drink or participate in other activities.

    Diensten op locatie

    Aider Sans Frontières is a non-profit organisation, so all costs go towards your project, operating costs, staff allowances, accommodation and food. Prices include accommodation, food, water, staff support and transfer to and from the airport. 

    Flights and insurance are NOT included in the price. Transparency is an important value to ASF so for a breakdown of costs please contact us for further explanation.

    Afhaal aan de luchthaven op Blaise Diagne International Airport

    Transfer to and from the airport is done by one of our experienced and very friendly staff members or drivers. The drive to and from the international airport in Diass (Thiès) to Saint-Louis, where ASF and your host family is based, takes about 3.5 hours. However, this is optional and volunteers can decide to organise it on their own.

    Accomodatie

    Our standard accommodation, included in the price of your project, is host family accommodation. We will match you with a local family who will look after you and give you three meals a day included in the price.   Our families are friendly, very welcoming and fully checked. Host family accommodation is clean but not luxurious. You can have your own room, or share a room with other volunteers if they are present at the same time as you. As a general rule, all volunteers that are over 25 will have their private room at the guest house, unless they request otherwise. There will be bathrooms at your accommodation, which can be private (en-suite) or shared with other volunteers or family members.

    Eten & Drank

    Prices include food and water, which means you get breakfast, lunch and dinner, so three meals a day. Any special food requirements, such as vegetarian meals, is often not a problem but should be indicated in advance.
