	This placement would suit... People with a good level of spoken French who would like to be involved in the foundation stages of this new school. Senegal is the newest programme to MondoChallenge, established in May 2005. As a new programme, the only school we work with was established a few years ago by the village committee to help teach young ones before they get old enough for the bigger schools. The teaching is currently being done at a premise not owned by the school but plans are on the way to get the school in its own premises. The villagers are very keen to improve their children’s education, but there is a lack of organisation and specialist knowledge. Volunteers could assist in restructuring and also set up syllabi for the school. As the levels of English are pretty poor in the areas we work in, a good level of spoken French is essential, just for simple communication with the locals, and with the students at school. 0845 344 7512 MondoChallenge sends volunteers to help with development programmes in Africa, Asia and South America. The average age of our volunteers is 29. So far we have sent over 600 volunteers to nine different countries. We may not be able to promise a hot shower but we can definitely promise an unforgettable and truly rewarding experience!
