Today, as a Volunteer with CorpsAfrica/Senegal, he sets himself an objective to serve his host community, to put his know-how, his skills, and his expertise at the service of others. He commits to making a useful contribution to the development of a community that will reverberate far beyond its service; to contribute, through his work, to strengthening organizations that are tackling some of the world’s most pressing problems; to be part of those who work to make things better; to help others and participate in the well-being of the community; to make a difference; and, to be part of a positive change in my community. Through CorpsAfrica/Senegal, Pape Seyni Bar is considered as a source of inspiration for development for Africans by Africans and an opportunity to acquire new skills and experience in community development.
