hello I say hello ide have affixed

founder of carthage posed for the

first time his feet on this earth

what is called tunisia there are more than

3000 years over 3000 years a few

occupying foreign civilizations and

past dictatorship retained by the

Tunisians as the sound is what they are

are saying that if foreign countries

see in Tunisia a place

geostrategic we could take advantage

did they say to themselves that if the

roman empire had made tunisia

an attic we could feed any

our population is what we said

that if countries like Singapore are

did not have any natural wealth

had managed to develop at

to impose ourselves economically we could

also do the same

no no no because although

monotheists and overwhelmingly

Muslims we like to have some

small worship annexes in tunisia

first is the cult of destiny the

maktoub which for many that also of

the resignation that finally of the

people who what happens to them

whatever happens to lures whatever

arrives at their country decided

finally he could not do anything

against that there are also those who

worship potemkin village

know and who ultimately thinks we

are in a country on the way to

development he adores that term there

because they finally rest 7

certainty about these are

statistics that date from the dictatorship

or because they like it

see administration facades

repainted in white and blue it’s very

aesthetic yet behind these

facades there is another reality

that of an underdeveloped country

the arrival of a country where finally

citizens have less and less access to

right the reality also of citizens who

do not have access to education and

the health

so I reassure you I’m not

come here to make you a little

list to the prevert of the causes of the under

development

I will not break the mood

especially after the song before have

on the other hand I see precisely in these

causes of underdevelopment is a

opportunity the opportunity to draw

lessons from what was wrongly done with this

who was not of what did not

been done previously so precisely to

we develop

because finally this country that old

over 3000 years old is a young country and

young people by the many sectors

of activity that have been little or no

exploited

besides today our challenge

is not precisely to know for a

excused the underdeveloped but well

on the contrary to understand for us

develop

and what’s more exciting

finally to be in a country that is

now free with a people

sovereign for finally from the front

then you will guess at my vocabulary

a little poor that I am neither

economist nor sociologist

my job is to create concepts of

bars nightclub restaurants

it’s not our time behind social

its of sociable entrepreneurship and

especially late in the evening then the

civil society is not my domain

professional

the civil aspect is my commitment

the commitment of a child who grew up to

the shadow of a mother illiterates a

mother who was a foreigner in a

country she does not understand the

language

a mother who has lived in a world

she did not know yet

this merlas had a capacity of

management and communication that was

developed enough because it takes

have his abilities there to handle a

siblings of eight children in one country

tidy up and I always told myself but

what a pity finally that did not have

access to education

it would have become a businesswoman

pretty fierce so I grew up with

this questioning and I told myself

but eventually it may be there

concern the interest of a country because it

does not help children to be able

study did not participate in the evolution

social of the population and therefore deprived

the country’s ability to

develop economically

from that moment on the question

is rather the answer has become

as an obvious

In Tunisia, it was necessary to place the child

heart of the topic of reflection and place and

especially education in the heart of

solutions

we have a country besides all the

other countries that looks like tunisia

are like that they have a vision

short termist

that is, they ignore them

childhood he is not interested in

living conditions of education to

the fulfillment of children but a

once they become young and adults

is finally surprised that these young people

adults is not a good citizen

starting from this evidence and in

discovering the reality of boarding schools

so you have to know that in tunisia we

have 339 internal to a few y more than

one hundred and fifty thousand pupils

these boarding schools are for

very poor populations ie

to parents who can not

to meet the daily needs of their

children or that they live in

isolated hamlets

so when I discovered when I

discovered these boarding schools I decided

finally get out of what I call

the social safari up to tunisia in

the beautiful neighborhoods and elsewhere we like

well finally when it’s cold etc

and bring together a lot of boxes

food or clothing

used and to go to the provinces and

to go take pictures with the

local population and to post that on

facebook is the social safari so I

tell you it’s finally there is no

no durability in all of this and we

can change things because the

Tunisia also has another advantage in

more than that of being free is

also not to have war

currently will not have on the

but in any case we can finally

find solutions then the idea

was to have I lie an approach

entrepreneurial

so I reassure you I have not thought about

turn interns into a box

night but I told you we can create

of wealth

there are a lot of you there are a lot of

ground often around schools so

the idea was to use thouars

to produce energy

photovoltaic and use the land

to install vegetable gardens orchards

a floral greenhouse the idea was to

create wealth within

interned to improve the budget and

allow the director of internat

therefore to improve the living conditions

and student studies so that we

can finally have students from

children who are more fulfilled and

successful students

budget improvement allows

today to fund clubs that

are the clubs entrepreneurship the club

cultural robotic club

the computer legendre club that deals

of sex education forgiveness and

equality the idea was finally to

overcome the lack of the state because it

must recognize one thing

and besides, it’s something that

hit me when I discovered that

do you think that in tunisia the budget of

the udc of the Ministry of Education

allows to maintain all schools

but when you have a budget of which the three

quarters are devoted to the mass

salary we end up with very little

to maintain the schools and we

found in a country where we strangely

sees schools falling into ruins at

the shadow of mosques being built at

leave that moment so we managed

to federate a lot of people and

especially from the private company I have to

well hide that me it’s time we

is not too much friends but we

let it act is already that so in

any case with private companies

and students who are now

ambassador we have ambassadors or

the African on every continent that

are mobilized precisely to make

know our movement we have

finally found this system that allows

so create wealth within

interned to improve

living conditions and studies

today we launched a

scientific approach also of this

that we do we have

child psychiatrists statisticians who

are doing a study for

demonstrate the impact of what we

let’s do on the kids

because sometimes you have to remember that

to get wet especially in a country where

some realities are unknown

so I will now show you a

of our projects that will give you a

overview of what we do

sleep in a young person’s life and

very important it is important for its

health is also important for its

schooling and as you can see

currently in the boarding schools in doubt

finally that children no longer sleep

in good conditions that’s why

that the freedom generation association

as part of its weekend action has

decided to imagine a room or

comrades could discuss having fun and

live between them but also

read and study in good

terms

1

this is one of the

projects we have you will have

noticed at the beginning the rooms these are

of because prison cells this

are limits to licques rouyer who

have nothing human and the problem

was precisely this one ie

that when there was the revolution is

still today in tunisia people

are amazed at these young people that they are

not engaged who do not get involved

but we can tell them that finally

it’s perfectly normal because

when we do not allow a child to

grow up with a frame that is a bit

more humanistic human with some

values

we inevitably find ourselves with

young people who do not believe in

the commitment that he does not believe in the

job

so our goal today is to

prepare the next generation for

write the first pages of the nist

of a tunisia that is free with a

sovereign people

and speaking of history I like

finish my interventions with

the history of the hummingbird

I imagine that many know her

I still tell it then he

was once in a forest a

huge fire

and while the animals of the big

animals are running away and sees

small birds that go

returns between the fire and the river

and after a while the lion stops

one of the big animals and 10 may hummingbird

you are crazy how do you imagine

with your little beaks and his little ones

drops extinguish its huge flames

and hummingbirds will stop and tell them

we do our part we do

our part

[Applause]
