Detailed description

That's why the Gambia

The Gambia offers you the unique opportunity to contribute to the development of a community, while developing yourself personally and professionally. In a position that matches your education and/or experience. For example, you can teach English, organize creative activities for children, or, completely different, you will provide essential care in local hospitals and pharmacies. Experience the culture from within and build unforgettable memories!

You help children and young people by first watching with the teacher and assisting with the English lesson, and/or teaching independently, you organize creative or sporting activities for children and young people and thereby contribute to their growth and development.


Care and welfare
