My Vision came true. I am more than happy, that I can work as a part time kindergarten teacher since March. And of course it is a very special feeling to teach in "our" école maternelle in Niaguis. As I introduce new toys and games to our very interested and enthusiastic children, my heart beats faster. This is one of the reasons, why I will be staying in Senegl until the end of the school year, before I return to Switzerland for 3 months in the beginning of July.

It has already been more than three months since the kindergarten opened in Niaguis. In the first two weeks, the number of children kept increasing, but now the classes are staying stable with about 35 children per class. It didn't take long for us to see, that our worries concerning the quality of the teaching, as well as the well-being of the children (we thought it might suffer because of the large classes), was unnecessary. And just like that, our spontaneous idea to run the kindergarten with parallel classes wasn't needed anymore. In the worst case we will have to do it like that next year though, so no children will have to be rejected because of the lack of space.
