Festival de la Mer! The Embassy of the United States in Haiti was proud to be part of the “Festival de la Mer” that was held last weekend in Cap Haitien. The Embassy partnered with the Haitian Ministry of Tourism for the Festival. The festival highlighted Haitis links to the sea, promoted environmentalism, and encouraged the development of tourism in the region. The Embassy brought two unique American artists to be part of the Festival: Solar Punch (solarpunch.org) is a rock band from Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. The group uses music to sing about science and the environment and holds workshops to help explain simple solar concepts and provide examples of where sustainable solutions are in use at locations around the world. Team Sandtastic (teamsandtastic) is a Sarasota, Florida – based sand sculpting team. They turn ordinary piles of sand into living works of art. Ambassador White visited as well and called the North of Haiti an “extraordinary jewel” in the country. We all had a great time in Cap Haitian, met great people, and had a wonderful time! Thanks to everyone who came out! Anbasad Lèzetazini nan peyi Dayiti te fyè poul patisipe nan “Festival de la Mer” ki te fèt Okap wikenn ki sot pase-a. Anbasad la te fè yon patenarya avèk Ministè Touris (tourisme.gouv.ht) pou festival la. Festival sa-a te met aksan sou rapò ke Peyi Dayiti gen ak lanmè-a epi tou li te fè pwomosyon pou anviwònman epi ankouraje devlopman touris nan rejyon an. Anbasad la te fè de gwoup atis inik antre pou festival sa-a : Solar Punch (solarpunch.org) ki se yon gwoup ki jwe mizik wòk ki soti nan zòn Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. Nan mizik li fè, gwoup sa-a pale de lasyans ak anviwònman. Gwoup Solar Punch lan fè tou atelye travay pou eksplike kisa afè enèji solè-a ye epi li bay egzanp kote itilizasyon enèji solè-a bay bon jan rezilta nan plizyè kote nan mond lan. Team Sandtastic (teamsandtastic) ki se yon gwoup ki fe eskilti ki baze l’ nan zòn Sarasota, Florida. Sa yo fè yo menm se pran pil sab odinè epi fè yo tounen bèl travay atistik. Anbasadè White te fè on ti vizit tou. Li rele depatman Nò-a yon « mèvèy ekstraòdinè » nan Peyi Dayiti. Nou tout te pase yon bon moman Okap, nou te rankontre ak moun ekstraòdinè! Mèsi ak tout moun ki te fè deplasman-an !
