I wanted to discover the world, I opted for a Voluntary Service Over-seas. Actually, I have been one of the last ones, because I concluded it in late April 2002! Since early 2002, conscription does not exist any more in France.

The DCC (Catholic Delegation for Co-operation) sent me in Tunis. I have been working in a private elementary school for two school years (from September 2000 to July 2002). On the programme:

• Management of a computer room (9 PC in Local Network),
• Teaching pupils computer science (140 pupils per year, children and adults all together),
• Organizing reflexion meetings about computer science educational methods,
• Programming a data base application in VBA for school administrative management,
• Testing computers,...

In the same time, I have discovered the local language and culture. It has been a unique and wonderful experience.

Below are some snapshots from the country :     Click on the pictures to enlarge them.
