Dear Distinguished Guests and Friends:
It is with sincerity that I extend a heartfelt congratulatory to the Association of Exchange Development of Activities and Partnerships, Inc. “AEDAP” on the Fourth Annual Leadership Retreat. It is my pleasure to be a part of this tradition.
It is said that we often don’t acknowledge the professionals that make a difference in our community. William Menninger wrote that, “Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom and charity.” AEDAP truly personify these qualities.
I applaud the Association of Exchange Development of Activities and Partnership, Inc. for all their hard work and dedication and most importantly for their strong commitment to the community. AEDAP have made a tremendous sacrifice to serve the needs of others. This worthwhile fundraising event deserves our support. I wish AEDAP continued success, and look forward to seeing many more years of dedicated service and leadership.
Sincerely,
Nadia Pierre, Mayor’s Assistant for Haitian Affairs

MESSAGE FROM JEAN TH. LINDOR, FOUNDER
It is a rich experience when you decide to participate without personal interest in development programs helping the less fortunate in Haiti. When you improve the socio-economical condition of the poor people, these individuals born in the mountain and/or the valley, or anywhere, you will feel elevated in a high spiritual world.
Jean Th. Lindor
MESSAGE FROM FLORE LINDOR LATORTUE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Life is a journey and it is up to us to determine where we want to be in it. We are who we are today because of the choices we make and things that happen that human resources have no power over also. For AEDAP family comes first.
Our First One Night Leadership Retreat was made possible thanks to each and everyone of you that traveled from Haiti, Canada, New York, New Jersey. It was made financially possible thanks to each and aeveryone’s contribution to the dinner and the hotel stay.
