History and Realizations: Association Moronaise of New York is a non-profit organization independent of any political groups or ideologies. From 1986 to 1989, a group of concerned moronais worked tireless on behalf of all moronais to found the new corporation. In 1986 a little group has formed the central cell with Bardel, Bruno, Joseph, Amanel, Lucien, Gerard, Lox, Lucot, Pradel and others. In 19
86, with the arrival of Wilson Delille from AJM (Association des Jeunes de Moron in Port-au-Prince), a new lifeline brought new energy to the association. It was at this time that the Executive Committee has charged Wilson Delille to write a new By-law with different rules aimed to guide the organization in the next decade. This constitution was adopted by the General Assembly under the leadership of its first president Dr. Bardel Belizaire. Pressing ahead, the Executive Committee contacted a lawyer, Joseph Shapiro, who prepared the Foregoing Certification of Incorporation in the State of New York. It was the 11th days of May 1989.The signees for the New Corporation were Bardel Belizaire, Gerard Balmir, Amanel Vital, and Lucien Michel. From that time, the Association had worked hard for the benefits of all Moronais. It is necessary to mention the names of our previous presidents from 1986 to present, who had worked for the success of the AMNY: Bardel Belizaire, Lucot Belony, Gerard Janvier, Herald Similien, Wilson Delille, Ruth Henry, Teressot Fortilus, Madianite Francois. L’Association Moronaise had done a lot of good realizations in Moron, Haiti. For instance, we can mention the implantation of a purified water system with the aid of the Care Organization, the organization of several soccer tournaments, the erection of a big wall in front of the City cemetery, the face-off of all the churches of Moron, the creation of a scholarship for the orphans of Neptune boat disaster, the foundation of a local library carried the name of our late first president, Bardel Belizaire, organ instrument to a social group, the purchase of the soccer Laferme soccer field, the acquisition of the terrain for the construction of Moron High School under the dynamic leadership of Mrs. Ruth Henry, the financial contribution for the makeover of the Catholic Church and the creation of a commun-ication network for all the Moronais living in the Diaspora. During its 25 years of existence, AMNY has its ups and downs. But the goal has always been to move forward in order to help Moron. Sometimes, we came closer to a possible dissolution of our group. Every time, a great Moronais will step up to carry on the torch of building bridges among all Moronais. We are not on the mountaintop yet, but we are still climbing the steps of improving the lives of our fellow Moronais. We just elected a new Executive Committee this past February 13, 2011. We hope that the Association under this new leadership will conquer all obstacles and reach all the goals of our mission statement
