  Volunteer Teacher - The Gambia

This placement is ideal for people that are looking for a diverse and challenging project. Couples/Friends are welcome and receive a 15% discount. Approximately 50% of our volunteers are non-UK based, with a large number of volunteers from North America, Europe and Australia. Our volunteers have a good level of general education and are enthusiastic, culturally aware, adaptable and highly motivated.

Volunteering in The Gambia, is one of the most pleasant spots to spend time in Africa. One can experience the 'real' Africa, the noise, the drums, the heat, the dust and, best of all, the friendly village people. And, just a short distance away, the rolling surf of the Atlantic, with water temperature around 28°C.

Currently MondoChallenge volunteers are working at three schools in The Gambia. The first is a small primary school set up with funding from VSO in the village of Kunkujang, the second is a school based in another small village in an area called Makumbaya, and one other based further South in the town of Bulok. Volunteers assist these schools by dividing the classes into smaller groups and by providing support and English practise to the local staff.

The children are responsive and welcoming and the need is for enthusiasm and commitment from our volunteers, rather than formal qualifications. We offer an optional weekend short course in Oxford for those who feel they need extra teaching support. Qualified teachers are also welcome as they can assist with local teacher training.

There is also the opportunity for volunteers at the school based in Bulok to get involved with the local health post, by providing basic health services to local villagers.

MondoChallenge programmes also include business development scheme's assisting with micro-credit loans to help sustain livelihoods for the Gambian people.
