The critical situation, due to the pandemic, although in different ways, affects all countries.
In Senegal and more specifically in the area that where we operates, the regulations set by the government are followed. Schools have been closed since March, but students who have to be examined to access the next cycle (secondary, high school or university access), have to be examined and to do this they have to go to class with the measures of wearing a mask and limited the number of students to 15 per classroom.
This will be done, depending on the levels, during the summer months, a time when, in rural areas, boys normally help their parents in planting and growing millet and peanuts.
Without the help of those who have to go to school, rural life and more specifically in our town Mbackombel, the rest of the family, young and old, work the fields, plow, sow and weed, to get the product that will help them to feed during the rest of the year.
It is very important that the rains arrive and goes on during the period of growth and development of the planting.

COVID-19. Emergency actions "Por Una Sonrisa En Africa"
Written by Fundacion
Like any other country, Senegal has been forced to take exceptional measures to combat the expansion of COVID-19.
Our thanks to all who have collaborated to carry out this action; as well as to those who regularly collaborate with our Foundation!
Recently we are receiving offers from many people interested in collaborating with our Foundation.
Among the new volunteers we would highlight, for their involvement in the time of collaboration, the following people: José María Catot Riera, Dr. In Computer Science and currently Director of Technology at the Foundation. Judit Serra Ballester, Bachelor of International Relations, Co-director of the Foundation and presently living in the field, both are permanent volunteers. Clara Gregori Pla, Doctor in Physics, on-site and distance teacher of ICT courses and Carles Viñeta Viladecans, Information Systems Engineer as a long-term volunteer in Senegal.
Everyone participates at the New Technologies project by giving courses to a pre-selected group of students from our Mbour residence as well as english classes to all students residing there.
Our gratitude to all those volunteers who have collaborated and collaborate with our Foundation!
We have started the course normally, even though the rainy season has ended late. In Mbackombel we have ten primary classrooms and three kindergartens classes working at full gas, in addition to five preschool classrooms, located in nearby towns.
The total amount of students studying in our foundation school is 397 in elementary school and 240 in preschool, which makes a total of 637 students, 28 more than last year.
This year we have started English classes for the students of the last two courses and the teacher is an old student of the foundation. With him there are already 4 teachers who learned in our school and now they have become teachers of the young generations!
We continue to train our high school graduates
At the Residence we have in Mbour, during the months of October, and November, the volunteer Clara Gregori, who has a PhD in Physics, has been teaching Advanced Web Programming courses to a group of students and she will continue giving the course until the end of December.
We invite you to be “achievers” of new sponsors.
Sponsorship contributions are a fundamental basis for our school growth.
