Haiti - Culture : Inauguration of the School of Music Nemours Jean-Baptiste, in Martissant
Tuesday, Charles Jean-Jacques, the Minister of Social Affairs and Labour, in the presence of Mr. Albert Chancy, Representative of the Presidency, Mr. Roger Pierre-Louis, Executive Director of the Foundation Konpa Dirèk and Mrs. Nancy Ruppel, representative of the Agency for International Development of the United States of America (USAID), proceeded to the inauguration of the School of Music Nemours Jean-Baptiste, located to Martissant. 28 years after the death of the figurehead of the national popular music, his memory is finally honored by the erection of a music school that bears his name.

This project initiated by the Foundation Konpa Dirèk is now a reality in Martissant, thanks to a partnership between the Foundation, the Ministry of Social Affairs and USAID.

In his remarks for the occasion, the Minister Charles Jean-Jacques emphasized the significance of the event that "allow us to clearly see of what the community of Martissant is capable. We remember well the low level of development of the area in time," recalling that the Government Martelly-Lamothe intended to promote change and remake the image of Martissant.

The Minister emphasized the spirit of community involvement exemplary, which has presided to the realization of this project, a real model that the President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister, Laurent Lamothe, intend to promote actively in the development and implementation of opportunities originating from grassroots communities.

Charles Jean-Jacques expressed the firm intention of his ministry to continue to work with communities for a gradual improvement in the social situation of the country. In this regard, the Ministry favors the strategies of social innovation, that mobilize the resources and expertise of community social entrepreneurs, committed and serious, through a normative framework and simple management procedures to ensure efficiency and transparency in the implementation of partnership projects.

In addition, he recalled that his Ministry was actively working, in the government program "Ede Pèp" in order to systematize the implementation of other community projects, including community restaurants and bakeries or the benefit of the most vulnerable. In this regard, in the wake of the implementation of the "Caisse d’Assistance Sociale", of the first community restaurant in Martissant in January 2012, which today offers food to about 500 people, the ministry is committed to open a second community restaurant in Martissant in a near future, in order to improve the response to the food needs of the population .

Distinguished guests,

Gason ak Fanm ki la a jodi a nan seremoni sila a

Nou tout dwe konnen ke tout pwojè ki soti nan matris kominaute yo e ki kapab pèmèt developman yo, se poto mitan tou aksyon sosyal Gouvènman Mateli-Lamòt la.

Ministè Afè Sosyal ak Travay ap di byen wo ke se yon priyorite pou li pou’l travay ak kominote yo, pou kapab rive tipa-tipa sou amelyorasyon sitiyasyon sosyal sè nou yo ak frè nou yo.

Se poutèt sa, Ministè a bay anpil enpòtans a tout sa’k kapab pote yon bagay nouvo nan sosyete a. Nan menm sans la, Ministè a mete kòtakòt resous ak eksperyans sila yo ki gen kapasite pran inisyativ pou pwogrè kominote yo.

Men sitwayen sila a yo dwe pwouve seryozite yo, ak angajman yo pandan yap chita aksyon ak inisyativ yo sou prensip, sou règleman, sou yon jesyon ki senp. Se sa k’ap pèmèt efikasite ak transparans pou pwojè yo kapab reyalize nan tèt ansanm.

Evenman jodi a gen anpil siyifikasyon. Li pèmèt tout moun wè aklè kisa matisan kapab fè. Dayè tout moun ki te konn Matisan raple yo trè byen ki bèl payèt zòn sa a te konn bay.

Ebyen se konsa Gouvènman an vle Matisan vini, se pou tout moun wè Matisan avèk lòt je. Yon matisan diferan, yon Matisan kote timoun, jèn moun ak granmoun ap mache lamen dan lamen nan lapè ak fratènite, pandan yap travay ansanm pou peyi a vanse.

Ministè Afè Sosyal ap travay san pran souf, nan sans pwogram “EDE PEP” Gouvènman an met sou pye e ki komanse bay Bon jan Rezilta.

Pwojè restoran ak boulanjri kominote an favè frè nou yo ak sè nou yo ki gen anpil difikilte nan lavi a, repon n a vizyon politik sila a.
Se nan menm sans la, Kès Asistans Sosyal te met sou pye, nan mwa janvye 2012 la yon restoran kominotè, nan Matisan.

Pou kounye a, restoran an kapab bay 500 moun manje. Men nap travay seryezman pou plis moun kapab gen opòtinite manje nan restaurant sa a.
Se pou tèt sa : Ministè a pran angajman pou louvri yon lòt restoran anvan lontan.

Tout sa n’ap di la a, tout sa nou wè la a anonse yon chanjman pou tout peyi a. Aksyon Ministè ap miltipliye nan tout peyi a atravè yon seri inityativ ak aksyon sosyal nan sousi pou chanje la vi popilasyon, e soutni sila yo lavi a pi difisil pou yo.

Pou fini, m’swete lekòl Nemou Jan Batis la toujoyu kenbe fèm. E se yon pwojè ki dwe miltipliye nan tout peyi a.

Gen 58 lane, gwo potorik gason sa a, Nemours Jean Baptiste te kreye rit « Konpa Dirèk » yon rit modèl ke menm etranje ap eksplwate.
Tout jazz kounye a chita sou konpa dirèk. E kòm mizik zenglen an dil : Konpa pou letan e letènite.

Mwen voye yon gwo bravo bay “fondasyon konpa Dirèk” yon inityativ kid we dire paske konpa dirèk la pou tout jenerasyon

Nan Non Gouvènman an, nan non popilasyon matisan an, mwen voye yon gwo kout chapo bay pèp Ameriken an. Remèsiman bay USAID ki pote kole pou fasilite reyalizasyon pwojè sa a, ki make yon lòt dat nan istwa Matisan.

Mèsi tout moun !"
