Aside from the work of our incredible volunteers, Peace Corps Senegal also boasts some outstanding Response Volunteers.  These experienced individuals join Peace Corps for shorter stints, usually six months to a year, and focus on one or two specific projects.

One such project is the Institut Mére-Enfante de Kaolack, which recently opened with the help of Response Volunteer Dr. Melissa.  She came to Senegal in November 2014 to collaborate on a community health development project with an NGO called IMEC.  Six months later, L'Institut Mére-Enfante is the result, providing affordable, high-quality, and accessible medical services to the Kaolack area.  Thank you, Dr. Melissa, for all your hard work!
