OUR ACTIVITIES AND OUR ACTIONS
In 2020, the role of AGAAS was particularly focused on:
International missions, Communication, Field actions.
Actions on the ground were hampered by the context of the state of health emergency. However, major objectives were achieved through working session in the Cabinet of the Minister of National Education, to present the Schweitzer’s Day project. The Minister did us the honor of receiving us in audience at his Cabinet. We presented the AGAAS and its activity plans to him and requested the involvement of the Ministry to:
- The organization of a day at national level first, dedicated to the life and work of Albert Schweitzer: SCHWEITZER’S DAY, 90 minutes for the Gift of Self. This event would take place every April 16.
- Taking into account in school curricula the existence of the Great Gabonese Men;
-Working session of June 18, 2019 with the President of the International Foundation of the Dr Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné (FISL). The exchange of views made it possible to envisage synergies of actions to preserve and promote the legacy of Dr Albert Schweitzer.
-Working session of March 04, 2020 with the Director General of Cultural Heritage at the Gabonese Ministry of Culture and Arts. This meeting inaugurates the advocacy process initiated by AGAAS to relaunch the nomination file of the former Albert Schweitzer hospital as a World Heritage Site. (Report attached)

Meeting on December 1, 2019 with the Head of External Affairs of the University of Montreal. The discussions focused on research, alternative medicine and tropical diseases. AGAAS wishes to help follow up on the perspectives opened up by the Lambaréné symposium held in July 2013.
France: Association LA CHAINE DE L’ESPOIR
Meeting with the Founding President of the NGO LA CHAINE DE L’ESPOIR, Doctor Alain DELOCHE. The latter is imbued with the realities of the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné, having attended the July 2013 centenary in Lambaréné, and says he is ready to provide his expertise to the Albert Schweitzer Hospital.
Many partnerships are possible, because the very heart of his work remains Lambaréné. We must therefore work together to ensure that actions and activities can be proposed, validated, financed and executed in the short, medium and long term.
The only winner will be SCHWEITZER and just him.
EVENTS
COMMUNICATION
A recently legalized association, AGAAS needs to make itself known, especially by the public, institutions and partners.
At the same time, it is about raising awareness in public opinion in order to put the thought and work of Doctor Albert Sch-weitzer back at the center of reflections and debates. Naturally, the city of Lambaréné should derive real benefit from it by placing itself at the heart of the dynamics of Schweitzer.

OUR FINANCES AND PARTNERS
THE OUTLINE OF OUR FINANCES IN 2021
The budget executed in 2020 is 2,073,265 AXF and this despite the very difficult context in our country and around the world, mainly because of the covid-19 pandemic.
The various calls for funds were able to collect a sum of 2,200,000 AXF.
The retained earnings in our coffers amount to 146,735 AXF.
Travel outside the country was not funded by the AGAAS Fund. Association funds are insufficient or even non-existent.
Project funding remains the work of a few patrons.
In doing so, the planned activities could be fully funded, as a whole.
Income-generating activities could not be scheduled due to restrictions due to the Covid 19 pandemic, which continues to rage around the world.
While it is true that the economic situation is very difficult, we must learn or re-learn how to pay at least the dues owed by members, for the proper functioning of the administration of AGAAS.
OUR FINANCES IN 2020
The internal funding of AGAAS should undoubtedly represent the first financial resources.
We remind you that contributions can be paid monthly or annually.
Also we must make a particular efort so that our contributions and calls for internal funds can cover all of our fixed costs, to thus show the seriousness of our actions, considered, and accepted by the majority of the members of the AGAAS.
We will then be able to appeal for donations, donations and later on public aid.
For the year 2021, we have proposed the following projects to the assembly which approved the projects below (see project sheets in the appendix)
- The second edition of Schweitzer’s Day April 2021;
