My father, Bernard Fils-Aimé, was truly a remarkable man. Not for his in-numerous successes - but for his character and vibrant belief in the redeeming qualities of humanity.

Chief among his many dreams, aspirations and accomplishments was a deep sense of pride and patriotism for his homeland and the people of Haiti. A love and ambition which I am proud to have shared with him.

There are few better ways I could think of to honor his life than to invest in the best and brightest that our beautiful people have to offer - a new generation of leaders for Ayiti Cherie.
