About Program
Gambia is a beautiful country in need of aid and assistance from international students. Adventures For Students works alongside the Gambian Schools Trust to deliver a volunteering project working on child care projects at schools in Nasamsu and Kumbija as well as renovation works in local villages, creating libraries and schools for the local children. Situated West of Africa, Gambia boasts magnificent unspoilt golden beaches accompanied by luscious palm trees.
Visits across Gambia may include local sight seeing, Tendaba Nature Reserve, Kiang West National Park and to experience the true Gambian culture the trip will include Gambian cooking lessons and cultural exchanges between English and Gambian people.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here.
