Development of educational activities within a school in Senegal.

Description of the accommodation facility:

The Fatou Kaba School Association Since 2011, the association has been developing exchange and solidarity initiatives with the Keur Fatou Kaba school in Guediawaye (a suburb of Dakar). Actions undertaken since 2011 have included improving and expanding the school building, establishing an exchange program with a Parisian elementary school, training teachers, providing equipment and school supplies, offering medical checkups for the children, and constructing a preschool. A computer room and a small library were installed at the school in 2015. The children regularly participate in computer workshops. However, the school is not yet self-sufficient in terms of IT activities, and a civic service volunteer will be responsible for continuing to run and maintain the computer lab. Furthermore, the children's lending library is operational, but reading activities are needed to encourage children to read for pleasure. The Keur Badiene Centre was built, comprising a nursery school and activities for women (market gardening, cooking, sewing, hairdressing) and a multipurpose hall for events, training, shows, and cinema.

The mission:

The volunteer will provide computer workshops and reading support to students at Keur Fatou Kaba Elementary School, in conjunction with teachers; they will manage the school library and organize other activities based on their interests.
