Founded in December 2020 by Dwinny Belval, a governance technician, LEAD-ACADEMY’s mission is to train a new generation of responsible leaders in Haiti. Through training and action, this structure supports young people towards holistic development, allowing them to fully exploit their potential.
Despite a climate of insecurity marked by the presence of armed gangs in Carrefour, many young people demonstrate incredible resilience. Engaged in citizen initiatives and impact projects, they embody the hope and renewal of their community. The LEGACY LEADERSHIP AWARD was designed to recognize and encourage these young people to continue their efforts.
The event began with a conference hosted by Sony Lamarre Joseph, CEO of Radio Lumière and best-selling author. He shared concrete tools to encourage young people to leave their positive mark on the world. Kimberline Noel moderated the discussions brilliantly, providing an engaging dynamic.
During this first edition of the LEGACY LEADERSHIP AWARD, several young people were rewarded for their leadership and exceptional contribution:
- Roobens Louis
- Hajiel Junior Pierre

- Pierre Rubens Emmanuel Moreau
- Juan Roberto K. Thomas
- Schaëlda P. Joseph
The ceremony was honored by the presence of Mr. Valery Jean Paul, entrepreneur and rector of Grace Academy Of Theology, who praised this initiative and encouraged the winners to continue their commitment.
The event brought together a diverse and engaged audience. After an official presentation by Darlise Sintumas, Public Affairs Manager, a networking session allowed participants to exchange and strengthen their ties.
One of the most memorable moments of the evening was the musical performance of Grace Marcelin, who captivated the audience. The festive atmosphere, supported by light shows and special effects, added a magical dimension to the ceremony. The motivational speech by Edrice G. Payen, project coordinator, also left a strong impression on the participants.
A Strong Message from the CEO During his speech, Dwinny Belval left his mark on the audience with these inspiring words:
Become the leader you want to see in your community.
He stressed the importance of celebrating and encouraging youth engagement, emphasizing the rarity of initiatives that value their impact.

This diversity of participants testifies to the scale and impact of the initiative.

Haitians have long been misunderstood when it comes to their treatment of animals, especially pets like cats and dogs. However, the truth is, Haitians hold deep affection for their animal companions, and this bond is reflected in the way they care for and nurture their pets. From rural areas to urban neighborhoods, pets are often regarded as part of the family, with Haitians showing immense dedication to their well-being. Here are some key aspects that highlight the strong relationship Haitians have with their pets.

The second edition of the Port-au-Prince Book Fair is scheduled for Friday, December 13, 2024, at the premises of the French Institute in Haiti, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. "Politics, dictatorship and literature in Haiti" is the theme chosen for this second edition. "We chose this theme because of the senior authors who should be with us for this edition. These themes are very present through their works," Emmanuel Pacorme, general coordinator of the organization behind the fair, told us. Indeed, this great literary celebration, which is mainly for the benefit of young authors, will be delighted with the presence of three of the greatest contemporary Haitian writers, a reference to the immortals Marc Exavier, Évelyne Trouillot and Dédé Dorcely.
Les lapins sont des mammifères appartenant à la famille des Leporidae. Voici quelques-unes de leurs caractéristiques principales : 1. **Physique** : Les lapins ont un corps couvert de fourrure douce, des oreilles longues et droites, de grands yeux sur les côtés de leur tête, et une queue courte et duveteuse. Ils possèdent de puissantes pattes arrière adaptées au saut. 2. **Taille et poids** : La taille et le poids peuvent varier considérablement selon la race, allant d’environ 500 grammes pour les plus petits à plus de 5 kilogrammes pour les plus grands. 3. **Comportement** : Les lapins sont connus pour être sociaux et peuvent vivre en groupes dans la nature. Ils communiquent entre eux par différents moyens, y compris par des sons et des mouvements corporels. Les lapins creusent des terriers pour y vivre et se protéger des prédateurs. 4. **Alimentation** : Ils sont herbivores, se nourrissant principalement de foin, d’herbes, de feuilles, de fleurs, et de certains légumes. Leur système digestif est adapté pour traiter une grande quantité de fibres. 5. **Reproduction** : Les lapins sont réputés pour leur capacité à se reproduire rapidement, avec des gestations courtes d’environ 28 à 31 jours. Une portée peut compter de un à douze lapereaux, selon la race. 6. **Sens** : Ils ont une excellente vision périphérique pour détecter les mouvements tout autour d’eux, mais ont une zone aveugle juste devant leur nez. Leur ouïe est également très développée, leur permettant de capter des sons à de grandes distances. 7. **Espérance de vie** : En captivité, les lapins peuvent vivre de 7 à 10 ans, selon la race et les soins prodigués, tandis que dans la nature, leur espérance de vie est généralement plus courte en raison des prédateurs et des maladies. Ces animaux nécessitent des soins appropriés, notamment un régime alimentaire équilibré, de l’exercice, et une attention particulière à leur bien-être émotionnel et physique pour vivre une vie saine et heureuse en captivité.
