Hi,
Hope the forum doesn't mind me popping a question in English?
I'll be looking to travel to Cote d'ivoire and would like to know if there are perhaps any possibilities in Abidjan for teaching english and/or organising computer training or building websites.
I'm a qualified computer engingeer, speak some French, but not fluent and would like to do some free volunteering in return for improving my French skills.
Best regards, merci.

Hi Q123,
I can assure you that there are many opportunities in Abidjan for teaching english and/or
organising computer training or building websites. But be warned that, this market is not a small concavity in which you would comfortably operates, unchallenged, with none or few competitors. There are a lot qualified computer engineers in the country and quite few english teaching schools. And besides, Ghana(an english speaking country) is a neighbouring country.
However, although computing is booming in Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana is relatively near, there are still a lot of 'customers' up for grab. It all depends of what you offer and the specific market you target. I can safely argue that the country, to a large extent, is computer illiterate. Computing cost money. Moreover, the 'computing effervescence' hasn't really spread to small towns. It's a major cities thing. So there is a market there for you, but at the end of the day you need to be on the ground and find out for yourself.
I hope your ad on this website would open up some doors. I cannot help but wonder what would be the outcome if I posted a similar ad on an Australian website. Would people offer to help?
Merci au Webmaster.
