When Haiti’s talent and cultural wealth become one.

“Haïti and its incredible genius” is the great competition that the city of Lowell, Massachusetts, had the pleasure of hosting on October 5th. Organized by IVAP Haiti, an organization that, despite the many difficulties, remains faithful to its mission. IVAP firmly believes that the new Haïti is already written somewhere, and it is up to us, through our actions, to make it concrete and constantly highlight it. Hence the need to organize such a competition.

Under the enlightened animation of Ishtar Pady and Zachary Thermo, the event left a memorable mark. This atmosphere, both calm and solemn, highlighted civics, Haitian literature, the geography of Haiti, as well as its history, by opposing two brilliant young people: Bens Hervens Toussaint and Youry Darly Fleurissaint.

Inspiring conferences on the Haitian community

This moment of fraternity also allowed the presentation of various conferences, including that of Sabyne Denaud, who addressed the challenges and support provided to immigrants in the United States, Fatima Al-Muntafik, who discussed the educational benefits for immigrants in community colleges, and finally Marcna Pierre, who encouraged participants to pursue their dreams with determination, whatever the challenges encountered. All these interventions were born from love for Haïti and a deep knowledge of the subject.

A poignant speech on the situation in Haiti

Despite the distance, the winds of despair blowing over Haïti and the weight of poverty have not spared the CEO of IVAP Haiti, who continues to defend his country with vigor. In a speech tinged with anger and indignation, he stated: “Haïti is not a poor country, but a country that the great powers have destroyed, and where they continue to fuel unrest.” These words explain the duration of political instability and the inevitable flight of Haitian youth.

Louino Robillard, the guest of honor, also expressed his pride for Haiti, evoking its glorious past and calling on the young generation to pursue their dreams without ever giving up.

The grand finale took place under a temperate moon, in a friendly atmosphere that brought together several nations and reflected the diversity and richness of the Haitian diaspora. With the positive outcome of the competition, coordinator Ms. Peladja Menelas did not hide her satisfaction. She said she was proud of the finalists’ performances and the hard work of her team, which prompted IVAP Haïti founder Mr. Zachary Thermo to passionately declare: “We may be forced to leave Haiti, but we will never give up on our dreams.”

Youry Daly Fleurissin, the genius who won the trophy, inspires hope and pride in his community. Despite the difficulties facing the Artibonite region, he persevered and, today, it is impossible to talk about him without mentioning his champion title. He worked hard for this award, and he deserved it.

Je tiens à féliciter le coordinateur Thermo Zachary pour son courage d'avoir pris la décision d'organiser une telle activité malgré tant de difficultés qui se trouvaient dans le processus. Félicitations méritoires également à toute l'équipe organisatrice pour les énormes efforts conjugués avec le PDG afin d'arriver à concrétiser ce grand objectif. Je vous encourage malgré de continuer à rehausser les valeurs de notre chère mère, Hayti.

J'exprime particulièrement ma joie d'avoir été l'un participant pour le département du centre. J'étais à la deuxième position (2è) au département du centre au phase de la rencontre des départements et l'international.

Vive IVAP-Hayti !
