8 Years of Commitment: Pierre Marc BAPTISTE Mobilizes for the Cité Soleil Library

On August 29, 2025, Pierre Marc BAPTISTE, a young, committed leader from Belecourt, Cité Soleil, will celebrate eight years of social, educational, and leadership work in his community. On this occasion, he is launching an appeal for donations (money, books, educational materials) to support an ambitious project: the creation of the Duvivier High School Library.

An Inspiring Journey, Born in the Heart of Cité Soleil

Born on August 29, 1996, the eldest of four children, Pierre Marc BAPTISTE grew up in an environment where perseverance and solidarity were essential. A brilliant student at the Becky DeWine Mixed Institution (Lekòl Pè Tòm), he was already helping his classmates pass their exams, while representing his school in various academic competitions.

In 2017, while still in high school, he founded the Literary Club Faisceau Club D’Haïti, a space for sharing knowledge with young people in Belecourt. It was the starting point for a commitment that has never stopped.

The Monferrier Dorval Chair of Constitutional Law, a gesture from the State University of Haiti, for the preservation of the memory of Professor Dorval

The Monferrier Dorval Chair of Constitutional Law is a high-intellectual-intensity initiative, taken by the State University of Haïti (UEH), through the leadership of its rectorate, in agreement with the leaders of the Faculty of Law and Economics (FDSE). The initiative’s primary goal is to honor and perpetuate the memory of the valiant and brilliant Professor Monferrier Dorval, assassinated in unclear circumstances, about three years ago. And in order to make a scientific contribution to the great debate that has been going on in Haitian society for about ten years about the need to change or not, the constitution of March 29, 1987, amended on May 11, 2011. Shouldn’t we try to apply it preferably? If it needs to be changed, should this change be radical, otherwise what should it have in terms of change within a new mother law for a better institutional organization of Haiti. The chair is scientifically chaired by Professor Henri Marge. Dorléans, (current head of AFPEC), and is vice-chaired by the dean of the faculty of law and economics, Me Eugène Pierre Louis. The Chair is materialized by a set of conferences and debates (15 in total), which take place in the premises of the Office of the Protection of the Citizen OPC, under the name of Wednesday of the Monferrier Dorval Chair. It is in this sense that for the fifth edition of the Wednesday of the chair (which took place this Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at the OPC, in the presence of the protector of the citizen, Me Renan Hédouville), attention was placed on education within the debate surrounding the possible development of a new constitution for Haiti. This 5th meeting took place under the theme of: "Education, Teaching, Research, Science and Technologies". The conference was hosted by three greats of the Haitian intellectual community, including two eminent professors of the UEH, namely, Professor Odonel Pierre Louis, academic director of the École normale supérieure (ENS); the vice rector of the UEH, Professor Jacques Blaise. Their interventions were followed by that of the director of the national institute of vocational training (INFP) Mr. Dikel Delvariste.
