I’m a retired teacher looking for a 6-month mission (December 2026 to May 2027) in Francophone Africa. Being housed in the center would be a plus for me. I have experience in Haiti and especially in Cameroon. I’m financially independent.
Thank you.

Bonjour Titihima,
Quel surprise tes messages!je viens de recevoir le dernier et par la meme occasion de découvrir les deux précédents .Je ne sais pas qu est-ce que j ai fais pour ne pas les avoirs vus avant.
Merci bcp, pour la peine que tu t es donné, tentant de m m'expliquer la situation.
J ai renoncé d aller au Cameroun.Comme je travaille avec 2 collègues de ce pays , ils me relancent parfois.La questions est que Josiane ma copine, n'est pas inter.de partager son temps dans une mission et que je désire pas la laisser seule sur place.Par ex. nous sommes allez a Goa en vac, et j en ai profité de visité les soeurs, le probleme est qu elle restait toute seule et que le temps paraissait long, ce n est pas qu^'elle fait pression, pas du tout, c est moi qui me sens incomfortable de partir en vac avec elle , et qu elle reste seule sur la plage toute la journée, ou en ville de yaoundé, par ex. elle ne voit pas d'inconvenient que je parte seul , elle restant au pays.Mtn, le travail me retient, mais j ai le projet de partir .Quand à VOIR.
Voila, re-mercie pour tes messages et tes réponses.
Je te souhaite un très bon week

Bonjour Eric, je viens aux nouvelles ! as§tu voyagé depuis notre conversation ? j'ai une suggestion à te faire car lorsque tu parles de voyage utile, tu peux envisager ton voyage différemment et cela pourrait mieux correspondre à ton amie: en effet, saches qu'il y a des familles formidables qui peuvent accueillir des touristes en échange de somme modique comparée à l'hébergement et à la nourriture des hôtels. J'ai plusieurs adresses de familles à te conseiller si ça te dit et dans chaque famille un des membres peut faire office de guide pour vous emmener visiter des lieux touristiques mais aussi et surtout pour aller dans les fêtes locales hors des sentiers battus, chez des amis ou membres de la famille qui habitent dans des lieux à découvrir etc et l'avantage d'être accompagné de cette façon c'est que non seulement les gens t'adoptent mais ils te protègent également de toutes sorrtes de désagréments malentendus ou arnaques au touriste basique grâce au fait qu'ils te servent aussi de traducteur; bref c'est tout bénef pour tout le monde au sens financier car les famille se sentent vraiment soutenus puisque dans ce cadre pour le même prix qu'un repas au resto pour 2, tu nourris une famille de 10 personnes et en partageant une dizaine de jours avec eux cela peut représenter plusieurs mois de leur petit salaire et, au sens humain, ce sont des moments extraordinaires, pour tous car ils sont très fières et honorés que des étrangers partagent leur vie si pauvre et si riche à la fois. (les conditions sont rudimentaires mais très acceptables)
Bref, j'ai des adresses en Gambie à Serrekunda quartier tabokoto et badjokoto chez des diolas originaires de Casamance, au Sénégal à plusieurs endroits dont la Casamance, et au Cameroun à Yaoundé quartier Mvog mbi.
A bientôt peut-être.

Bonjour ,
J espere que tu vas bien.
Merci pour tes propositions.Oui, ca nous inter. d avoir des adresses de familles accueillant les touristes.Nous avons par ex. le projet d aller au Senegal , donc les adresses de Gambie et de la Casamance seraient utiles.
J'ai renoncé au voyage au Cameroun, le contact pas très agréable avec les Missionnaire de la Charité et différents noeuds m'ont un peu découragé.A la place je suis allé chez les Soeurs à Addis abbeba et l expérience fut fantastique, à refaire! et pourquoi pas à Koalak au Sénegal?
Voilà, j espère avoir de tes nouvelles prochainement et te souhaite une très belle semaine
Eric

Hello,
My name is Valerie and I live in France. I’m a street artist—I perform street shows that blend circus and clowning. I also work as a clown in hospitals and retirement homes in France.
I’m planning to spend two months in Morocco from January 19, 2027, to March 13, 2027. I’ll be traveling in a truck, so I’ll be mobile.
I’d love to offer my time as a volunteer to perform a show that’s suitable for all audiences (kids and adults) in village squares. I’d also like to visit hospitals and orphanages as a clown.
My route will start in Nador, then head down to Merzouga, before making my way to the coast either above or below Agadir. Toward the end of my trip, I’ll return to Zagora and Merzouga before leaving from either Nador or Tangier.
I already have contacts in Merzouga and Zagora. Next, I’d like to head toward the coast above or below Agadir, and I’m looking for contacts (associations, orphanages, hospitals) in that area or along my route.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. valgelac@hotmail.com valerie

My question might seem a bit out of place in a "travel" forum, but I’m giving it a shot anyway.
I’m thinking about sponsoring a child in Vietnam.
After some online research, I’ve found a lot of organizations that offer this, but I’m struggling to make a choice.
Could anyone guide me in making my decision?
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

Hello,
I’m a volunteer leader at a youth center (MJC), and we’ve been deeply moved by everything happening in Madagascar—extreme poverty, endangered animals, deforestation, and so on. Plus, one of our teens has a Malagasy friend, so our group wants to travel there next year. Throughout this year, they’ve planned fundraisers to collect donations (sheets, dish towels, schoolbooks, hygiene products, etc.) and funds to cover their trip and stay.
They’re really motivated and generous—they already volunteer in schools and senior centers, and they’re always welcomed warmly.
But so far, they haven’t found any organizations in Madagascar willing to host them for two weeks (orphanages, schools, animal protection parks, etc.). Does anyone know of any contacts, please? Looking forward to your replies. Have a great evening!

Hi everyone,
After 8 months of volunteering in Tanzania at a center for street children, I’d like to go back for a year in the same kind of role—this time in Burkina. So I’m looking for contacts in this field, in Ouaga or elsewhere. I’m *super* motivated! It’s been over two years since I got back from Tanzania, and I’m starting to feel restless! Thanks so much!! Emmanuelle.

hi there,
Solidafrica is a recognized humanitarian association of general interest. We donate wheelchairs in Africa. We currently have 2 wheelchairs that we would like to give to our partner, the Benin Handisport Federation. If you're traveling to Benin, alone or with someone, we could give you one of these 2 wheelchairs (or both). Out of the 40 kg of luggage you're allowed, a wheelchair will only take up less than half. Our partner can pick it up at Cotonou Airport...
Help us give away at least one of these wheelchairs, turning your trip into a solidarity and humanitarian action.
Don't hesitate to ask us for more information.

We've already done this through the VoyageForum site, and everything went very smoothly. We're present at departure from one of the Paris airports, just in case.

Hi,
I’m interested in humanitarian missions—want to explore and help others while showing my kids how things work elsewhere and pitching in.
Looking for advice.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to connect with the community involved in humanitarian travel in Senegal
Hello, we’d like to travel as a family to Madagascar (2 parents, 2 kids aged 10 and 12). A first trip over 15 years ago completely amazed and moved me with its beauty, kindness, and life experiences—but also its poverty and hardship. That’s why I think it’s possible to introduce our kids to this island while also doing something useful through volunteering. The window is short—15 days in March 2020—which means avoiding the north and east of the island due to cyclones and focusing on the south instead. Some ecovolunteering projects exist online, but the cost is sometimes prohibitive, and kids are rarely accepted. Do you have any ideas or contacts? Thanks in advance!
