Felicitation to IAU & Kevin Govender

Dear friends, we just received the report and want to share with you that Kevin Govender and the International Astronomical Union (IAU) obtained the Edinburgh Medal award. 

The Haitian Astronomical Society (Société Haïtienne d’Astronomie) is proud to congratulate them for this prestigious award. This is to accentuate the importance of passion in astronomy teaching work.

The Haitian Astronomical Society is taking their activities as model to orientate the young Haitians to astronomy as a science. We have appreciated the work of the Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) since we have submitted project, too.
