If you have nursing experience, you can work in various hospitals. As a dental assistant you go to schools with a local dentist in a dentist car to check the teeth of the children. If you are familiar with medication, you can help in a village pharmacy. If you have experience in care for the disabled, you can work with children with a disability.

We offer

* Interesting projects from which you will learn a lot.

* Good preparation in the Netherlands and guidance in The Gambia.

* Pick-up from the airport.

* Introduction day in The Gambia.

* A guest address which serves as a home base where the volunteer can ask questions and relax himself.

* Various options for trips and / or workshops.


This volunteer vacancy cannot (yet) be filled as long as the corona measures in the Netherlands and / or the Gambia apply. If interested, it is possible to make an appointment without obligation.
