Detailed description

Who are we?
Travel2Connect is a small-scale social enterprise that offers interns and volunteers the opportunity - if you are open to it - to learn from another culture. We put you in direct contact with the local inhabitants of Gambia or Senegal. We strive for you to have an authentic and unique experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Activities
Do you have knowledge of computer science, bricklaying, electricity, welding, plumbing or carpentry and do you think it would be a challenge to transfer your knowledge to young people in a developing country? Then you can start working at a vocational school. This school was recently built and sponsored from Norway. Underprivileged young people can learn a trade here in the field of construction.

We ask
* You are at least 18 years old on the departure date.
* You are physically and mentally healthy.
* You are patient, flexible, reliable and interested in other cultures.
* You have experience regarding the vacancy or you are following a training course for this.
* There is a registration procedure.
* You pay the costs that volunteer work in The Gambia entails, such as preparation and supervision costs, ticket, accommodation costs and meals.

We offer
* Interesting projects from which you will learn a lot.
* A good preparation in the Netherlands and guidance in The Gambia.
* Pick up service from the airport.
* Introduction day in Gambia.
* A lodging address that serves as a home base where the volunteer can go with questions and relax.
* Various possibilities for trips and/or workshops.

Time use
In consultation.
