NCCF Welcomes Mrs. Oligui Nguema, First Lady of Gabon

FirstLady

The National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) had the honor of hosting Mrs. Oligui Nguema, First Lady of Gabon on October 1, 2024.

The First Lady toured our Bethesda Campus including Greentree Shelter and Dr. C’s Boutique. Mrs. Oligui Nguema also had the opportunity to meet with volunteers and speak with staff about their programs. She has plans for a similar center to help children in Gabon who are affected by violence and poverty. It was an amazing visit and we can’t wait to see her work brought to life in her home country.
