Co-founder of Ebando, affectionately nicknamed "Dalai Lama du Gabon", craftsman, liturgical harpist of the Ngombi, initiated great healer, father and grandfather of 15 children and grandchildren, Andre Nguie Ovono was met by Tatayo on the night of August 2, 1976 near Kango. His door was the only visible light that night. From this encounter, years later, the actions of the association would be born.
"Papa Andre", our dear honorary president, passed away on December 15, 2017. Peace to his soul.
