Mayor Ralph Youri Chevry of Port-au-Prince “sincerely apologizes” to all those who joined the Municipal Administration on November 10 to determine a slogan and the theme of the Carnival 2018 and informs that “Following the negotiations with the National Carnival Committee, established by the Presidency, we had to give in and adopt their slogan “Ayiti Sou Wout Chanjman” (Haiti is on the road to change),” instead of the slogan decided initially in Port-au-Prince during the first round table “Ayiti Jan L Dwe Ye” (Haiti as it should be).
Nevertheless, the mayor said that the artistic activities of Carnival 2018, will develop around the theme of recycling, as it was decided at this round table.
The Communal Administration of Port-au-Prince thanks all those who answered his call [among others Ralph Allen, Mario Benjamin, David Charlier, Jean-René Delsoin, Fred Hype, Haze Sylvester, Joseph Merline and Tamara Philippeaux, the Director General of the Town Hall, Anne-René Louis, that of the External cooperation, Alexa Louis and representatives of the diaspora] and hopes to see them again at his discussion table for the Carnival festivities of 2019.
