An additional 120 volunteers and professionals shared their skills for the greater good of the students, the teachers and the community in this working class neighbored of Grand Dakar. The association's project, called BES for Bien Etre Scolaire (School Well-being), included the renovation of 300 school-benches, masonry, floor tiling, painting of nine classrooms, electric repairs and beautification of the school grounds so that students want to come back to school and teachers want to stay, according to Moustafa Gueye, general coordinator of the Team Niintche. An estimated budget was nine million CFA (13,720 euros) of which only six million CFA (9,147 euros) was obtained through public donations, while the local town hall subsidized the remaining amount.
