The Open Days are about showing off and being proud. We have a lot to brag about and yes, we are very proud. We have only just upgraded the girls’ school in Dakar, and you can already see how wonderfully its students are using the new tools!
Juices, preserves, baked goods and unique African textiles. The girls gave it their all. The Open Days attracted crowds of interested parties. Among the guests was also the new Polish ambassador to Senegal, Bartłomiej Zdaniuk.

Do your most colourful Senegalese shopping today and help our alumni achieve their dreams of an education.
