Summary

Make a difference in a developing country like Gambia, for example as a (subject) teacher, teaching assistant, childcare worker, healthcare worker or welfare worker.

Detailed description

That's why Gambia

The Gambia offers you the unique opportunity to contribute to the development of a community, while developing yourself personally and professionally. In a role that matches your education and/or experience. For example, you could teach English, organize creative activities for children, or, something completely different, provide essential care in local hospitals and pharmacies. Experience the culture from the inside and build unforgettable memories!

Education

You help children and young people by first observing the teacher and assisting with the English lesson, and/or teaching independently. You organize creative or sporting activities for children and young people and thereby contribute to their growth and development.

Care and welfare

Work with local professionals in hospitals, pharmacies, and dental practices. Or support children with disabilities and learn essential skills in an international context.

This is you

You are at least 18 years old upon departure. Naturally, you are in excellent, healthy physical and mental condition. You are naturally patient, flexible and reliable. And of course, you are interested in other cultures.

Your education(s) and/or experience relate to one of the fields.

There is an application procedure where you must be prepared to apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). We will pay the costs of the VOG.

Invest in your own development

You must be prepared to cover the costs associated with this volunteer work yourself (preparation and guidance costs, ticket, accommodation costs and meals).

It will give you a lot

  • You work on super interesting projects;
  • It is a wonderful, unique experience that broadens your horizons;
  • You will meet many new people, which will allow you to significantly expand your personal and professional network;
  • There is thorough preparation in the Netherlands and good guidance in Gambia;
  • We arrange your transfer from and to the airport;
  • In Gambia you will get a fun and interesting introductory day;
  • You have a supporting supervisor on location;
  • The lodging address is your safe home base where you can relax and where you can ask your questions;
  • You have various options for excursions and/or attending workshops.
