Description
Hi, my name is Fabio. I have been leaving in Senegal since 2005. I am the founder of a socio-cultural association. We are multicultural, trilingual (french, wolof, italien) and would love to share our lives and cultures with you.
With my wife Fatima, and our 3 children, we live in a pretty house in the pleasant neighborhood of Yoff 100m from the most beautiful beach in Dakar.
We are very busy with the activities of our association, which currently deals mainly with creating a socio-cultural center with an attached agro-organic farm and school. Not forgetting looking after our children.
This is why we are always looking for workawayer who can support us.

If you want you can get closer to traditional music and dance but also to the Wolof language, the first language spoken in all of Senegal.

Help
The Workawayers will be asked to help 5 hours a day for 5 days a week which may include weekends, we don't have a fixed schedule.
Fluent english is a must!
There is some flexibility to the times of help, and this can be discussed once an application has been received. A minimum commitment to helping of one month is usually required, along with a flexible attitude.
Our ideal workawayer is an extroverted person, with a good ability to relate to people, pragmatic, enthusiastic and who knows how to identify needs at any pre-established moment without waiting for him to be always told what to do.
Often there is not much work to do, so good computer skills et social networking are desirable to improve the visibility of our project, but also someone with the passion of photography.
The help which is required will be varied, and may include any or all of the following:
Help with the kids (6, 11 and 14 yers old), chat to improve English, general maintenance, gardening, go to shopping in the local markets, help in social projects, helping in making advertising and posting pictures in our social networks page facebook and instagram,
No previous experience is needed, but if you have any particular talents let us know.
