The FAES intends to perpetuate the ancestral tradition of sharing, through this distribution of pumpkin soup which symbolizes freedom and the abolition of slavery. Find out more about giraumon soup : Giraumon soup, historians say, was reserved for whites, colonial slave masters. Its consummation on January 1st, 1804 had marked the revenge of the Newly Liberated against the oppressors. Dessalines' wife, Marie Claire Heureuse Félicité Bonheur, encouraged the preparation and distribution of this soup every January 1st. The essence of distributing this soup is sharing. Sharing with family, friends and neighbours. It is more than a duty for the FAES to work to maintain this ancestral tradition.
