FRENCH ADVENTIST  YOUTH EXHIBITION, CERGY-PONYOISE - APRIL 21,  2012

For the second consecutive year, the organisation now identified as The African Descent International Diaspora was invited to the Fete where British Pastor Ray Patrick was one of the guest speakers.

This year visitors could see the organisation’s newly designed logo. Regrettably due to an IT equipment failure, the temporary website could not be put out but not was all lost since more takeaway information was available and quickly disappearing. In comparison with last year, over 200 visitors visited the stall held by Michelle and her mother offering her comforting presence. Pictures, in the Gallery tab, demonstrate of the success of the presence of The ADID at the Fete.
 

Great atmosphere of discussion, excitement and cultural mix (Madagascar, Jamaica and Haiti) from young and older individuals excited to know about the position and substance of The African Descent International Diaspora. A Haitian caller urged me not to omit Haiti from the picture as symbol of the unwavering struggle for freedom and independence of the African people and people of African heritage.

Jamaican Pastor Sean Dowding, well-known to Willesden SDA church, who migrated to France ministered Paris-Est church for a number of years before becoming Head of the Adventist Youth Department of the France North Conference, also wrote an uplifting message.
