Students from three partner schools in Keur Soce enjoying the Dakar Zoo on the annual Student Field Trip.
One exciting activity we sponsor is an annual field trip for students at our partner schools. Students jump on a couple buses to spend two days in Dakar visiting various sites of interest like Goree Island, the Dakar zoo, National Parliament, and the African Renaissance Statue.
For many, this may be their first time seeing the ocean, the animals in the zoo, and perhaps even their first time out of the community. This low-cost program can really open the eyes of many of these students, and is a fun activity to look forward to and motivating factor for those graduating out of primary school.

This year's trip is coming up in just a few months, when more than 100 new students will get to experience many of these things for the first time!
This is only possible because of your support - thank you for broadening horizons for these students.
