Description

My name is Jeanne. I am French and I am 21 years old. After completing three years of real estate study in Paris, I went to live in Togo, in West Africa for 1 year (September 2022 - August 2023). There, I volunteered in an after-school center run by sisters. Every afternoon we welcomed underprivileged middle school students to help them with their homework, to do French lessons, and to lead fun times. My mission was also to organize evenings for high school students and students (games, debates, films, general culture, etc.). After having experienced this incredible year, and before continuing my studies in September 2024, I am preparing to go abroad again. I would like to take advantage of this year to significantly improve my English around projects that are meaningful to me. I love everything to do with housing, education, communication, helping the poorest. I also really aspire to learn about nature, agriculture and cooking. I have a decent level of English but I will have to improve at the end of the year because I will be in London in November and December.

I really like education and pedagogy (for example: learning to learn), psychology and communication (non-violent communication). I am also becoming more and more interested in cooking and agriculture.
My grandparents having a vegetable garden, I began to learn various things thanks to them. I hope to become a great cook and botanist one day!


My qualities :

Very sociable, curious and empathetic.
I appreciate when things are done well and I can be very hardworking to ensure that is the case. I like finding ideas and solutions to improve something.
I agree to question myself and criticism to improve myself.
