May 1st, Agriculture and Labor Day in Haiti
May 1st is listed among the best Haiti public Holidays. Schools and most businesses are closed. Haitians pay tribute to all the farmers who works tirelessly to feed the population and stimulate the Haiti economy. We also celebrate our valiant workers, who daily, in various sectors, work in the economy to provide essential goods and services to the population.
Schools usually organize fun fair activities with all types of fruits, vegetables where teachers and students dress like African or country people.
Richcard, one of our students of 7th grade was our lecturer this year. He highlights the importance of plants for the environment. Students and staff members sit and listened carefully. Right after that we had a dance competition. Each teacher has delegated a representative of his class. The champion had a prize.
Our students of Eagle School Haiti brought all types of fruits and vegetables. We sliced them and ate together. We did give to each of our students a cup of tchaka each. Tchaka is a Haitian stew made from hominy, beans, pumpkin (joumou), and meat (usually pork).
