My name is Sarah and I am a rising undergraduate senior. I just finished studying abroad on a university Francophone Program and, during my week-long stay in Dakar, Senegal, I completed a 4-day internship at the YMCA. This was a great opportunity for me to further pursue my teaching of English and a second language and to improve my French in an NGO setting. In fact, I enjoyed my time at the YMCA so much that I asked to return for an internship this summer, preferably beginning in June and continuing into July, constituting a month-long internship.
My only obstacle at this moment is the cost incurred by the flight from New York to Dakar (~$1000), as well as the cost of living with my host family($500). My family's financial situation is very tight at this time, particularly in lieu of my parent's divorce this past year. ACI Baobab is not able to offer me funding and I have been unsuccessful thus far in finding funding opportunities through my university.
Please help me pursue a month-long internship at the YMCA of Dakar, teaching English as a second language to adults and children, gaining invaluable language skills!
