Praslin[]
Located in the town of Torbeck, approximately three leagues from Les Cayes, this plantation was owned by Squadron Leader Charles Hérard Aine, who initiated an uprising against 2President Boyer on January 27, 1843. It was within this location that the Manifesto of the Revolution was composed. The armed resistance at Praslin dealt a significant blow to Boyer's administration and facilitated the subsequent uprising led by Philibert Laraque in Jérémie on January 31.
Infrastructure[]
Road[]
Boury is crossed by the National no 2 coming from Cayes. This road gives access to three small markets and a large one.
Health[]
Boury has two health centers that serve local population. But inhabitants living far away cannot afford to travel mostly because of costs that too much for farmers. This makes the health centers less useful while most people refer to traditional medicine techniques to take care of themselves.
Education[]
The school situation in Boury is characterized by low coverage of school buildings. The few school buildings that exist have their classrooms in bad shape therefore poor education becomes obvious. About 80% of young people are enrolled in school.
Religion[]
In Boury there is a diversity of religions of different beliefs (Protestant, Catholic, Vodooism, etc.) People are free to practice what they believe in.
Local organization[]
In Boury farmers get organized. But with a poor leadership to keep members focus on long term goals. The local organization needs to be more structured.
