December 23, 2007 was a good day for some folks in the town of Saint-Louis du Nord. That’s when Saint Louis Demain decided to throw a “sit down” dinner for some of the poorest citizens of this town located at the north western part of Haiti.

Many in Saint Louis and other parts of Haiti have been having a tough time making ends meet and eating a nutritious meal everyday. Unemployment is high and those without a family member in Miami or elsewhere in the Diaspora never know if their day will be spent enjoying a good meal. This is why when this Saint Louis Demain delegation chose Nan Palan to hold this dinner, it couldn’t make a better choice. This neighborhood is quickly becoming one of the neediest ones in Saint Louis.

Sponsored by a proud young lady from Saint Louis and making a living in Miami, this dinner of rice and beans and chicken and other good stuff was attended by close to two hundred women, men and their children.

Said Ms. Lucienne who came to this dinner with her three children:” God is good; without this dinner we probably would have spent the day without eating”.

Saint Louis Demain will come back later this year to organize another dinner. It’s hoped that the organization will be able to feed more people.
