Today, they are 67 happy elected. It's a crowning achievement after more than 24 years of hard work. Let them be proud because they arrived on this steep mountain, not by cronyism or favoritism, but by individual merit.

In 1995, you were fresh as the initiators of a good cause. For 24 years, you have gained experience in a work atmosphere that sometimes leaves to be desired. But today you have taken a definite option to end your career in the big leagues. How beautiful patience and courage are in hard work and excellence !

Dear student commissioners, stay away from partisan political wrangling, which sometimes has nothing to do with Haiti. It is at this price that you will be good professionals. You will then have in you all the values ​​capable of allowing you to make a long career [...]"
