Summary

Make a difference in a developing country such as 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 position that matches your education and/or experience. For example, you can teach English, organize creative activities for children, or, completely different, you will provide essential care in local hospitals and pharmacies. Experience the culture from within and build unforgettable memories!


Education

You help children and young people by first watching with 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. It goes without saying that 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 fits in with one of the fields. There is a registration procedure where you must be prepared to apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG). We pay the costs of the Certificate of Good Conduct.


Invest in your own development

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


It gives you a lot

  • You participate in super interesting projects;
  • It is a wonderful, unique experience that broadens your horizons;
  • You will meet many new people, allowing you to significantly expand your personal and professional network;
  • There is thorough preparation in the Netherlands and good guidance in Gambia;
