Beach volleyball in Dakar (Senegal)

The school holidays are a time to gather on the beaches of Dakar.

Its a great place to escape the heat, but with no formal activities planned, most go swimming, which leads to some unfortunate deaths-a concern for parent and local authorities.

Addressing this concern, Sports Fayda and GSA-Dakar, in collaboration with the League of Volleybal,l hosted an entertainment program of beach volleyball and awareness education (Terrou BI BCEAO YOFF, Goree) during the month of July and August 2010 with the following objectives: - Contribute to the fight against drowning
- Contribute to the protection of the environment and clean beaches.
- Love the practice of Beach Volleyball
