On this Friday, December 24, 2021, the eve of Christmas Day, which for the second year comes with severe restrictions, Lesly Condé, Former Consul General of Haiti in Chicago (2004-2018) delivered, as every year, his traditional message of reflection to all Haitians, which we invite you to read ...

Message from Lesly Condé :

"Dear compatriots and friends everywhere,

Here we are at the end of a year 2021 strewn with challenges of all kinds. Our patience, endurance and optimism have been severely tested. Even if fear and uncertainty are still part of our daily lives, even if sadness and disappointment have punctuated our moments, we are indeed together today, and it is with a heart filled with love and emotions various that I wish you a Merry Christmas in prudence and discretion. At the same time, I wish you a happy new year 2022. As it will not come without its own challenges, I also wish you all the courage and all the discernment you will need to make it a success.

For the second year in a row, the celebration of Christmas is accompanied by severe restrictions which drastically alter the gregarious nature of this long-awaited event. I strongly advise you all to strictly apply the health instructions that are dictated to you. The main thing is to get through this difficult moment in human history.

However, we must not lose sight of the original meaning of this Christmas celebration. It is the day when all Christians all over the world celebrate the coming into the world of the son of God. As we celebrate the most important day in the Christian world, we must above all focus on the symbolism of the circumstances in which the Savior of mankind has come among us. Christmas is the birth of the only son of God who brought us a powerful message of love and humility. The Christmas spirit encourages us to love our neighbor, and most importantly, to reach out to those in need of help. The world would be a lot better if this Christmas spirit could last all year round.

In closing, I urge you once again to be cautious and in moderation, while wishing you a Merry Christmas in Peace and Security.
