Volunteer and Teacher in Dakar, Senegal

Support my charity

French national with a European heart. I've lived in a few countries such as Germany, UK, France, Luxembourg, Kenya and now Senegal. I started teaching 12 years ago. It has become a passion.

I am very organised, focussed, enthusiastic, passionate and artistic. I love to have projects on the go.

I fell into eTwinning by accident in 2014 when I was accepted at my first PDW not knowing exactly what I was letting myself into. It has been a wonderful learning journey ever since. I have become an enthusiastic project teacher working on varied subjects such as toys out of recycled materials, celebrating Earth Day, creating a mini landscape, working on movement, producing a puppet show, a butterfly chain of ethical value words ... using a lot of online tools.

My last major teaching project with the eTwinning community, the writing of a fairy tale story, has won me a European Award.

As an active member of our society, I like to help improve the lives of some of the most disadvantaged people around me. Living in Africa gives me this opportunity and I am very grateful for it.
