U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District Project Engineer Maj. Ben Ketchum, then a captain, and Staff Sgt. Ed Achana with the U.S. Libreville Embassy Office of Security Cooperation pose with local Gabonese school children at the recently renovated Mabanda Primary School February 23, 2023. The renovation was funded through U.S. Africa Command’s Humanitarian Assistance program with construction managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in close partnership with the U.S. Embassy in Gabon. Roof and drainage improvements were a key part of the renovations, as previously the school had to be evacuated on rainy days, severely impacting learning schedules. (Courtesy photo)
