At the centre, we get around 10-20 children in the morning and afternoon, and they come and go according to when they have lessons at school (they don't go to school from 9am to 3pm like most British schools). In the morning, we give them IT lessons in the computer room and in the afternoon we give them English, French or Maths lessons.
I've always thought of being a Primary School Teacher so teaching the children has been really helpful for me. We get children of all ages and abilities (from toddlers up) and it's been challenging, yet so fun, coming up with lessons to combine everyone. It's a really good group of children and they make the centre lively. I've had some fun extra-curricular afternoons with them as well, teaching skipping, playing board games or doing colouring, so have definitely enjoyed this part of the Diapalante centre: they never fail to put a smile on my face!

Youssou Ndour is THE most popular Senegalese singer in Senegal (I'm pretty sure everyone I've asked has listed Youssou Ndour on their list of favourite singers) and below are two songs he's done about children (xale in Wolof). Hope you enjoy!
