iciHaiti - Father's Day : Message from Lesly Condé

iciHaiti - Father's Day : Message from Lesly Condé
As part of the celebration of Father's Day, Sunday June 30, 2024, Lesly Condé Ex-Consul General of Haiti in Chicago (August 2004 - May 2018), delivers to us as every year his message of reflections which we invite you to read and share.

Message from Lesly Condé :
"Dear compatriots and friends from everywhere,

I am delighted and above all proud to celebrate Haitian Father's Day with you. We can never give too much importance to the presence and role of the father in any home. For this reason, we must honor all Haitian fathers and in a special way all those who are faithful to their duties despite the difficult conditions they often have to face. Being a father myself and proud of it, I am grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to emphasize the positive impact of a good paternal presence within a family. The stabilizing presence of the father within the family will necessarily have a visible effect on society. I add my voice to yours to say thank you and happy birthday to all Haitian fathers.

Our society rightly glorifies the courage, resilience and indomitable optimism of Haitian mothers. This is due to the fact that these mothers are very often forced to play a dual role due to the absence of the father. This brings us to the unpleasant issue of irresponsible fathers who fall short when it comes to many duties to children and family. When a man shirks his responsibilities as a father, he commits a crime against family and society. Indeed, a child who grows up without the influence of a father risks developing self-confidence problems which will affect his functioning within society. We understand that many Haitian fathers are avoiding their responsibilities because of their economic situation, but the crime remains real, and the victims must face indelible psychological scars.

After exploring the painful and bleak aspect of the reality of some Haitian fathers, it is appropriate to congratulate all those who, despite the economic difficulties they face, put the security and stability of their homes before anything else. Their families are strong, and the children who develop there will become useful citizens who will be the strength of their communities. I must mention in a special way all the Haitian fathers who do not hesitate to carry out tasks traditionally reserved for mothers when circumstances require it. They are extraordinary beings.

Paternal presence is therefore a very important ingredient for the development of any individual. By combining tenderness with firmness, the father represents this stabilizing element which watches over the harmonious growth of the family. In the eyes of every growing child, Dad is a hero who knows everything, who rises to any situation, and who is always right. It is a role that is both very important and very delicate because even in circumstances where we least suspect it, the child observes his model, wants to be exactly like him.

The Haitian father deserves very special consideration because very often, he plays his role admirably despite the difficulties of all kinds that he must face day after day. His role often requires unusual sacrifices. This true hero is often misunderstood because despite the enormous frustrations that constitute his daily life, he manages to combine tenderness and firmness in order to ensure stability and respect in the home. He is the important guide of a generation which must be stronger, and go further... much further.

I wish an excellent Haitian Father’s Day to all those who have fulfilled this important role. At the same time, I encourage today's young fathers to be aware of the role they are called to play in the formation of a generation. »
