    Description

    Hello, my name is Ousseynou. I am Papayaculteur, I have a farm of Papayas, Oranges, Karassol, Guavas, and many other plants and fruit trees in Albadar, Kerwoane Diannah. I have half a hectare, and I would like help with the marilage and the other fruit trees on my land. The help will be very varied. You can help me water the plants, plant and cultivate new different plants and harvest fruits and vegetables. But Linchirai is also a place to train local and international people how to grow papayas. Albadar is a very welcoming little village with different ethnicities and rich cultures. I live with my family, my brother and my children in the village. During your stay here you will have the possibility to sleep in a room in our family house. Here you will discover the Senegalese culture, taste the traditional dishes, see the dance and the traditional music, and learn the marichage. We are not far from the sea on one side, and on the other side there is the river and rice fields.
