FAQs

What will I be doing?

IYour trip will comprise a blend of spending time at one or more of our schools as well as getting to know the local community. We also arrange sight-seeing trips to the forests and the coast. We will tailor the trip to your interests and skills. Do you like building? We can find a project for you! Computers? No problem! Do you have teaching, child-care or medical skills? We can find ways for you to help. Or maybe it’s just providing a pair of extra hands – whatever you can do, we can usually find a way to fit you in to a fulfilling and useful programme of activities.

How many days will I be in the Gambia?

Again, we will work around your requirements, but usually our voluntourists stay at least a week, and more often two.
