ABOUT ME

My name's Omar and I am originally from Senegal but currently I am living permanently in Finland. I am simple and open-minded.
I love my family👪.

I like meeting people, traveling, exchanging ideas, sharing knowledge and discovering new things. I also like to help vulnerable people, such as street children through my NGO organization that locates in Senegal.
I'm a Batik Artist and I work in a humanitarian organisation which helps street children in Dakar in Senegal. Anyone who is interested in helping street children, is welcome to contact me and do volunteering in the organisation.
