Going back home is not always easy. Spending time abroad changes people. And their country of origin will have changed too. There is a new guidebook on reintegration that provides lots of information for Senegalese nationals. It contains useful tips on the best ways to prepare for going back home from Germany.  

In the words of a Senegalese proverb, "It's courage that prompts you to leave, but character that persuades you to return." In addition to character, however, what is needed more than anything is the right information to ensure that your return runs smoothly. The new guidebook helps you with this. It is written in French and its title translates as "A Guide to Reintegration for Senegalese Returnees from Germany".
