Description: 

UVS International invites you to travel differently, in a solidary way in order to help Senegalese population.

Country of 15 million inhabitants, located in the western part of the African continent and borders on a 700-kilometer coast on its west side, Senegal is full of diverse ecosystems, covered with several-centuries year old baobabs. A place where the sun is shining almost all year long and where plenty of habits and customs are giving the rhythm to the cultural agenda of the different regions.

Choose : 

  • a theme (agriculture (breeding or market gardening), animation (plastic arts, circus, board games, music, theater, ...), education (teaching French or English, tutoring) or sport (depending on passions)
  • a date and duration
  • the number of people you want to go with (you can also go on your own)

And go on a solidarity trip to our UVS school in Senegal. Aïcha, our school director, will be delighted to welcome you on site.
