Phone cards as gifts will be available for the auditors answering well the questions. Global information about this activity could be seen here.

• The Rendez Vous is at the Community Library of Deschapelles at 5 h PM (Haitian Time) where we will meet the children (and some adults too) to present them the topic "Asteroids and Comets". It will be a video projection followed by explanation and discussion aroud the subject. See the Facebook Page about this rendez-vous. This activity aims to raise awareness about the cosmos to the children as we follow Universe Awareness recommandations and our objectives in our organization chart. You may see our global orientaion for this kind of activity here since we are postulating to become the National Coordinator (NC) for Universe Awareness. We are working to set up a sustainable program for the children. And remember our outreach activity with some children on the football field of Deschapelles showing them a telescope as a scientific tool.

• That's coming the regular talk date with the members of the association and the general public, too. We have launched these meetings since December 2015 to inform and train them about astronomy. That's the meeting for the month of Febuary and we will be talking again about the planet Mars (Febuary 27, 2016 at 5 PM). See the Facebook Page for that event.
• A calendar has been distributed to the associatiin members to schedule this activity. It is held usually at 5-6 PM (Haitian Time). And there is a non-obligatory participation fee of 5 GOURDES (U$ 0.08) usually used for electrical plant gas.
• The meetings are held in the association HQ, but in fact we are sharing the numeric room of a school institution. They have a fixed projector (on the roof) we are using providing we have gas for electrical plant. We are actually planning to buy a mobile projector to have outreach astronomy public talk independantly and reaching more poeple about astronomy. We are planning a fund raising for March for that

• That the day for Board meeting. Usually, we cannot meet with all members as the same time, but we try. Members of the board are doing their professional activities as well as trying to do their best for the association activities. As I am working in Hospital Albert Schweitzer as OBGYN, I do my best too to reach our goals. Dr Gednard Clerveau in Port-au-Prince, with great experience in organization management, tracks administrative activities, M. Theogene Stinfil is whasing over the astronomical local club (Club Supernova). Dr Eliode Pierre, OBGYN and also journalist is doing his best to give us opportunity for national interview. View the Board members page or even watch this Youtube video about them.
