Friends first (Les copains d'abord)
9-day itinerary
A fun itinerary with lots of encounters in a world at the end of the world.
Games with school children, tennis, introduction to music and dance, an unforgettable trip for young and old.
Accompanied by a musician from Kindia.
Family trips are particularly important to us.
Over time, we have listened to our young visitors who have discovered Guinea with their parents.
An unforgettable trip through meeting other children who live so differently from them arouses surprise.
But also and above all the desire to communicate, to play, to go to school with them and finally, to understand that it is possible to be different and to love each other.
Several of these families have returned to Guinea over the years and their vision of life and difference has changed.
Likewise, the parents tell us that their children not only loved their trip but also that they have become more mature with more discernment.
A great hope …
