Access English Camp

This summer I have been busy helping out with several camps here in Thies. One camp took place at a local high school and was sponsored by the U.S. Embassy and Access English program. There were two other Peace Corps volunteers helping Joyce and Teni-Ola, as well as several Senegalese teachers. The camp lasted a week long and around 50 boys and girls participated. All activities were conducted in English, to help build students' English capacities. Here are some photos from the week.
Tug of war!

Wheel barrow race.

Team dance.

Limbo.

Potato sack race.

In classroom activities, this was a game where students had to say a word associated with a category Joyce wrote on the board. The first student to correctly say a word won.
