Description

Develop the talents and motivation of neglected and impoverished communities through sports coaching, whilst you discover Senegal, a multi-coloured civilisation famous for its art heritage.

Despite its diminutive size, Senegal has its own unique culture expressed by a blend of exotic music, tempting cuisine and unusual traditions and customs, making it a veritable melting pot of cultural discovery. Visit pristine ivory coastline laced with the dramatic expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, where you will find beaches scattered with rose-tinged shells, palm trees flourishing in the sandy terrain and offshore coral reefs and cays replete with a thousand species of tiny fish and other exotic creatures.
