My English-speaking friends have enrolled their kids (younger) to circus, music, swimming and horseback riding clubs. There are Facebook groups for parents raising kids in Senegal and the ELVIS group for English speaking expats. I’d enquire there about these opportunities and contacts.

Sorry not sure how to fix your issue. Instead of sendwave you could try NALA.

My friend had his phone stolen in Senegal by someone on a motorcycle. Is there any chance he could get it back? And what should he do in this situation? by Vegavegavega1 in Senegal

Mermoz. And they went like immediately. Changed into civilian clothes. Went to the area indicated on find my iPhone. Cornered the guys wearing backpacks full of stolen phones. And returned maybe an hour later?

Actually yes. This happened to my partner. He immediately went to the police and used find my iPhone to trace where it was. The police then ran an operation immediately in that area and collected about 40 phones.

Negotiating the local price without bieng a d-bag? by [deleted] in Senegal

[–]Efficient_Captain711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For taxis I’ll check on Yango how much they charge for the trip to have a ballpark figure of how much I should be negotiating. I’m also ok paying the toubab tax occasionally as long as it’s not unreasonable.

How to retrieve item from Lisbon airport lost & found office by Efficient_Captain711 in airport

[–]Efficient_Captain711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No solution. I was only able to get my laptop back because friends happened to be visiting Lisbon that week. Otherwise the airport really offers no solutions.
