Ils auront droit à des ateliers de : peinture, crochet, macramé, langue des signes, théãtre, lecture, échec, etc. Dans un contexte aussi traumatogène où la violence est monnaie courante, de telles initiaves sont d’une importance capitale. " Les enfants ne sont pas imperméables au stress et autres pathologies que peut provoquer la situation morbide qui sévit dans le pays actuellement", souligne Blondy Wolf Leblanc (Gabynho) DG a.i de ACTIF. "Espace Lajwa se veut donc, un refuge, un lieu où les enfants peuvent s’exprimer en toute sécurité, un espace sécurisant où ils peuvent exprimer leurs émotions à travers plusieurs médiums", précise-t-il. Plus loin, l’animateur socioculturel encourage d’autres structures à travers le pays à prendre des initiatives de ce genre au bénéfice de la santé mentale des enfants. Espas Lajwa est quasiment gratuit. Un frais de participation de 150 gourdes est requis pour la semaine. Quid Kay Jèn Yo Issu du projet "Pran Swen Tèt ou", Kay Jèn Yo est un projet de l’organisation ACTIF supporté par La Perfection École de Haute Couture visant à combattre la violence par l’engagement communautaire à travers des programmes de formation professionnelle et artistique.

Haïti / Fort Picolet: Historical Guardian of Liberty

Cap-Haïtien, Haiti’s historic jewel, is home to a fascinating architectural relic: Fort Picolet. Built at the end of the 18th century by the French, this imposing bastion majestically dominates the bay of Cap-Haïtien, bearing witness to the tumults of Haitian history and the fierce struggle for independence. The history of Fort Picolet is closely linked to that of Haiti, particularly at the time of the Haitian Revolution. During this tumultuous period, when slaves and freedmen rose up against colonial oppression, the fort was the scene of epic battles and fierce sieges. Sometimes used by French forces, sometimes by Haitian revolutionaries, Fort Picolet was a silent witness to the events that shaped the destiny of the nation. Designed with a strategic vision, the fort embodies the military architecture of its era. Its thick stone walls, strategically positioned cannons and viewpoints overlooking the bay make it an impregnable bastion. Its name, Fort Picolet, pays homage to General Louis Marie, Marquis de Picolet, French governor of Cap-Français at the end of the 18th century. Today, Fort Picolet remains much more than a simple historical monument. It is a living symbol of the resilience and determination of the Haitian people. Visitors who wander through its ruins can feel the imprint of history and contemplate the remains of a tumultuous past. From up there, a panoramic view of the bay of Cap-Haitien is available to them, offering a unique perspective on the strategic importance of this place in the maritime history of Haiti. As a pillar of Haitian tourism, Fort Picolet attracts visitors from around the world. Its historical aura, combined with the natural beauty of its environment, makes it a must-see destination for history and culture lovers. More than just a tourist attraction, Fort Picolet is a poignant testimony to the endless struggle for freedom and the cultural richness of Haiti. Throughout the centuries, Fort Picolet has survived the test of time, reminding everyone that freedom is an inalienable right, hard won and carefully preserved. By exploring its ramparts, contemplating its silent cannons, visitors find themselves immersed in the tormented history of Haiti, a story of courage, resistance and hope.
