The destination of this trip is the serene small town of Warang, in Senegal. Students will spend a great part of their time working on service activities with the local school of Les Cajoutiers, an association providing education, food and socio-medical care to impoverished, deaf and disabled children in Senegal.

The Senegal Project is the perfect service trip for those who would like to expand their horizon and discover another part of the world while having a positive impact on the local population by helping children and promoting sustainable living. The participating students will work as a team to assist these young children in a meaningful way. They will also work on a project to raise awareness about sustainability with the local community.
This trip is emotionally rewarding as our students create connections with the school's students, and they learn from each other. The service activities are balanced with excursions to learn about Senegalese daily life and traditions. The students will build empathy through an understanding of others.
The Senegal Project is a chance to see life through a new lense, break down stereotypes and misconceptions and learn to appreciate our world and our own lives.
Senegal is a quiet and peaceful French-speaking country in West Africa where different communities and religions live alongside each other in mutual respect.
It is among the safest countries in Africa. It is ranked in the Low Travel risk section and Medium medical risk section on international SOS.
