 The first actions resulting from the union of the three associations arose in the following areas:

Healthcare 

 

They organized a 4-day medical fair every year for three consecutive years, which includes the distribution of free medicine to all the patients. 

Culture and Sports

 

In regards to athletics, these associations encouraged young people to develop a culture of healthy activity through sports, specially soccer, throughout the region by organizing championship tournaments during summer vacation. To encourage them, the two finalists’ team each received a trophy and a reward in the form of cash prize. Equipment and uniforms such as balls, shirts, shorts, socks, and shoes were donated to the Gressier soccer team for the interregional matches.

The coalition has also contributed to the renovation of the National School of Gressier.  During two consecutive years, seminars were organized for the principals and teachers of Gressier and surrounding areas to focus these efforts toward improved management of human resources, without counting the many contributions and participations of these associations in the various social and cultural events.

Education and Development

 
As the basis of their action plan, the members of these associations believe that the training and the education of the youth must be the initial driving force of a country’s development.  Therefore as a part of training seminars for teachers and principals, all three associations have sought to concentrate their energies and resources on creating an education center where courses on trades such as: electricity, woodwork, and data processing will be provided to the young people of Gressier by working professionals from the three associations.  With this in mind, they have combined their efforts to build a Development Center for Socio-Educational and Vocational Training for young people of the region.  
     

This first stage of the global project resulted in the construction of a 220m² building of reinforced concrete which will house a library measuring 72m², a classroom for vocational training, and a room for computer classes. In fact, the first phase of the centre’s construction is complete, but there remains much work to be done for the center to be functional consisting of general electrification and furnishing so that the center can serve the population of Gressier.
