    Description

    We live in a family with my parents and brothers and sisters.

    I often work on a farm or on a salt farm in a commune in the Kaolack region of Senegal.

    I'd like some help during the rainy season with field crops (groundnuts, millet, maize, etc.) and maybe some market gardening.

    You can stay for 3 months to help us with the work.
