On September 27, 2026, the Minister of National Education, Moustapha Mamba Guirassy, visited the Ahmadou Bamba Mbakhane Diop 3 school in Zone B to assess the progress of the renovation work being carried out by Bes. The association's efforts aim to provide students with a more conducive learning environment.
The rehabilitation work at the Ahmadou Bamba Mbakhane Diop 3 school includes electrification, repair of water taps, and provision of new desks and benches. These interventions address the specific needs of students and teaching staff. According to Djibril Diallo, Secretary General of Bes, the association's initiatives are made possible through the mobilization of resources, including support from the Ministry of National Education, partners, and member contributions.

He emphasized that the initiative is a "patriotic challenge" for all Senegalese citizens, urging more individuals to participate in preserving school infrastructure. The Minister also stressed the importance of daily responsibility among users to maintain the facilities and prevent premature degradation.
The Director of the Ahmadou Bamba Mbakhane Diop 3 school expressed gratitude for the support from Bes and the Ministry, which will result in a more welcoming and conducive learning environment for students.
