You were present, on the runway or aside, and this changed a nice sports meeting into a wonderful unifying event« , specified the Head of State.
For her part still during this weekend, the first lady of Gabon organized a race against cancer mobilizing hundreds of women. « Acting against cancer, it is fighting against stigmatization, taboos and the unspoken.
Acting against cancer, it is bringing humanity to the sick, facilitating the access to equipment and treatments. Acting against cancer, it is acting for our families, our communities, our country.
Well done for this immense pink colored crowd. Well done for your courage, your determination and your solidarity.
Thanks to you all« , declared the Gabonese president.
