Challenging Preconceptions in the Land of Teraanga: NGO Work and French Study in Senegal
When I decided to intern in Senegal for two months this spring, I didn’t quite know what to expect. It would be my first time in Africa and my first visit to a French-speaking country, despite having only taken one term of French prior to boarding the plane there. And yet it was with excitement and optimism—though not without a smidge of trepidation—that I committed to two months of NGO work and intensive French study in a country that I knew little about. So why did I choose to do my GlobalWorks internship in Senegal in the first place?
What am I even doing here???
