The diaspora community native of Miragoâne, third port city of Haiti,
located in the department of Nippes and the chief town of the district of
Miragoâne offered a large agape in honor of this piece of land of Haiti, on Saturday,
June 21, 2014 at the Drs Adly and Josette Thebaud residence at Heathrow Lake Mary, Florida. On the eve
of the celebration of Saint John the
Baptist, the patron of the city Miragoâne, this gathering brought many miragoânais
and miragoânaises from across the Haitian diaspora.

The party began at 8 pm with words of welcome from the hosts Adly and Josette Thebaud, the engineer Bruny Compas and Max Jacques, the master
of ceremony (MC). Following the invitation and encouragement of Bruny Compas,
many participants traveled from Canada, Connecticut, North Carolina, New York
and Haiti to participate in this joyous gathering which also represented a
great opportunity to reunite in the sumptious residence of doctor Thébaud, who
also originates from Miragoâne. This event was also made possible by Bruny
Compas, who is well known as a unifying center of Florida, and also a founding
member of HASO (Haitian American Society of Orlando).

The party held at the magnificent residence of the Thébaud’s made a great impression
in this gated community of Lake Mary surrounded by magnolias and
tennis court. Therefore, it was an inviting atmosphere for relaxation and entertainment,
between friends and comrades scattered
ove fourty and fifhty years, as pointed out by one
of the guest speakers of the evening, Rahoul Dupervil.
The hearts and minds of this Haitian community nostalgic of their piece of
land ignited throughout the evening.
Everything was on the edge
of the pool area well decored in this
circumstance where a sumptuous banquet dishes were well chosen in honor of the
guests in search of elegance and refinement. The Miragoânaises, elegant in
their dress "bustier" fitting, flared, low-cut or backless blade were
lovely, the miragoânais meanwhile were "sharp" in their fine suits
and they danced happily with their ladies who seemed to be having ants in their
legs in addition with the DJ Harry Duval, who’s retro tunes filled the ballroom
and very much inviting everyone to dance. A true atmosphere of reunion and good
vibes throughout the evening!
Stretching in length, the host of the party, Dr. Thébaud has then
highlighted the main goal of this worldly activity; he took the opportunity to
highlight the projects initiated by some citizens of the community Miragoâne.
Photos and videos presented by Dr Ralph Gousse were reviving the memories of school, football
and youth etc ...
Rahoul Dupervil has promised to make the grandest festival next year
promising to bring more people from Miragoâne.
Informed observers could detect from the atmosphere a certain willingness
among this diaspora community to unite their efforts to renovate their hometown.
The celebration continued Sunday, June 22 with a barbecue (grill) at Bruny
Compas’s House.
These festivities was another proof of the love that the diaspora generally
feeds in his heart for Haiti, a love scarcely recognized by some politicians
who therefore do everything to exclude or discourage the diaspora with their
retrograde actions or the actions taken step menus (lip service). A diaspora
that yet thinks only to assist every corner as Miragoâne Haiti.
