*
French is the official language of Senegal, and all children in the state school education are taught French from an early age. However, the majority of Talib children are not given this opportunity as the education they receive in the Daraas is limited to Quranic studies. This lack of adequate preparation limits the children’s ability to speak, read and write in French, leaving them with inadequate language skills even into their teenage years.
At MDG, Talib students are introduced to the elements of the Senegalese primary cycle: French, mathematics, civic instruction and recitation/singing. As a volunteer, you will work under the supervision of a local teacher. It is important to remember that, while the scholastic development of these children has been extremely restricted, they have the ability and "savoir faire" to respond well to creative and original teaching methods.

Mission Statement
Build an efficient, open, thriving marketplace that connects people who have community and world-changing ideas with people who can support them.
Description
GlobalGiving was founded by two former World Bank executives who decided to use the Internet to create a highly efficient marketplace. The GlobalGiving platform enables more funding to reach projects throughout the globe, and, at the same time, provides a more transparent, engaging way for donors to give.
Because we enable donors to give directly to projects, they know exactly where their money is going. Donors can see progress updates on most projects as funding is received and goals are met.
Donations made through GlobalGiving are higher impact because:
- Money is going directly to a well-defined project versus supporting general operating expenses
- Projects on globalgiving.com have exposure to thousands of donors, enabling us to aggregate multiple sources of funding for each project
- Many projects on globalgiving.com are located in the developing world where a little money goes a long way
