– Distinguished Ministers;

– My sisters Chantal Camara, Vice-President of the Supreme Court and Mrs. Bintou Bamba, Wife of the late Minister Vamoussa Bamba and all my sisters of the Women’s Kounadi Association of the Bafing for Dominique Ouattara (FEKBADO).

My dear sisters of the Congregation of the Daughters of Jesus,

The humanitarian work tirelessly done your center for the youth of Touba since 1986 is exceptional. And I am pleased to see that the youth of Touba finds in you, the necessary monitoring for their training and professional development.

Our young girls and boys also benefit from literacy classes, as well as a socio-professional training which give them a better chance of success in the workplace.

Receive once more, all my congratulations and sincere encouragement for the great work you do for our children. You can count on my full support in your noble mission.

My Dear Sisters,

I know the need for a more efficient management of our children is huge. But the means do not always following, I chose to bring my support by offering to the center various gifts that have just been listed. I hope these donations will help you in your mission and will ensure the training of many other young people.

To My Dear Children,

Many thanks to the Père Leonardi Center, the vocational training which are done, will help you build a career and build you a better future. I recommend that you remain attentive to the advice of the sisters who surround you and especially, to work hard, because work is the key to success!

Never forget my dear children, that you are not alone, I am with you.

Thank you
