The commemoration of the battle of Vertières on November 18th, 1803, in Port-a-Piment was a vibrant and patriotic celebration to honor Haiti’s historic victory for independence.
This year’s event was marked by a lively parade featuring students from various schools across the commune who marched through the streets singing patriotic songs that resonated with pride and unity. The Saurel Descombes’ fanfare added a festive rhythm to the occasion amplifying the energy and enthusiasm of the participants,
This meaningful celebration was organized and guided by the directors Josue Paul and Mac Louis Simon of EFACAP (Ecole Fondamentale d’Application et Centre d’Appui Pédagogique) with invaluable support from the EFACAP Management Council. Their collaborative efforts ensured the success of the event which inspired the younger generation to embrace their heritage and keep the values of resilience and freedom that define the Haitian spirit.
