My daughter might do her junior year in Senegal. Should I be worried?

She can either go to Frrance or Senegal. She's leaning towards Senegal. I know it'll be a great experience and it's supposed to be a very stable country--but so was Kenya. Does anyone here have any insight they can share with me?

2. My daughter did her first semester of her junior year in Tanzania.

She wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

She was already very mature for her age, but she came back - even more better...if that makes any sense?

I don't think anyone should ever turn down the opportunity to go to Africa.

3. I spent some time in Dakar

twenty years ago, and it was actually a pretty decent place. There are worse places she could be going to.
