“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.
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.
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.

In Arabic, the family of words Amin, Iman or imam, imana designate faith, trust, security. This word is also present in the Swahili language (Kenya, Tanzania, East Congo Kinshasa) in the form imani: trust. "The term Imana is not the equivalent of God-Goddess which is a Western vision of divinity. Indeed,: "the term "imana" does not designate above all a personal being that should be honored and implored, but a diffuse fluid that should be captured." In other words, Imana is a neutral vital force that manifests itself in the inner cosmos of each living being." ¹ Imana, by Michel Darlin Johancy is a musical, symphonic and spiritual journey through three geographies: an inner geography of meditation, a cultural identity journey and an artistic musical stroll. These three itineraries unfold in Haitian spaces. This symphonic and spiritual journey takes place in 10 stages or 10 movements.

Haiti’s largest river is called the Artibonite. This majestic waterway, which crosses the country from one end to the other, is a key element in the geography, economy and daily life of Haitians. With its crucial role in agriculture, its historical importance and its impact on the local ecosystem, the Artibonite deserves special attention. This article explores the many facets of this iconic river.
In collaboration with HPost5, Les Éditions Julien Hilaire are launching a call for contributions for the publication of the first issue of "Temps de poésie", a literary magazine that, according to the initiators, aims to be a space for exchange, creation and celebration of contemporary poetry. In these times marked by a penchant for destruction, chaos and the law of silence, speaking has become an obligation. Speaking to denounce. Speaking to resist. Speaking to build. The first issue of "Temps de poésie" with the theme "Cathedral under construction, poems as labor" is part of this approach. This theme is an invitation to reflect on the act of building, whether material, spiritual or metaphorical, we read in the press kit. Haïti Wonderland met Ansky Hilaire, the man who leads the project. Interview.
