Je suis médecin et fondateur de l’association Afreecan. Notre association œuvre dans le domaine de la santé et de l'éducation des enfants issus de villages reculés de la Tunisie. Nous avons mis en place un bracelet rouge contre l'abandon scolaire porté par des milliers d'écoliers, de sportifs, d'animateurs et d'artistes. J’ai toujours dit qu’un enfant sauvé des griffes de l'ignorance vaut mille soldats. Aujourd’hui l'ignorance est notre véritable ennemi. Notre devise doit être "Éduquer c'est bâtir, instruire c'est construire ». I am a doctor and founder of the Afreecan Association. Our association works in the field of health and education of children from remote villages of Tunisia. We have created a red wristband against school dropout carried by thousands of schoolchildren, sportsmen and artists. I have always said that a child rescued from the clutches of ignorance is worth a thousand soldiers. Today ignorance is our real enemy. Our slogan should be « Education is vital to build a better future » أنا طبيب و المؤسس متاع جمعية افريكان. الجمعية متاعنا تنشط في مجال الصحة و تعليم الأطفال إلي يعيشوا فالقرى البعيدة في تونس. من ضمن الإنشطة متاعنا عملنا براسلي أحمر يلبسوه الألاف تلاميذ المدارس، والرياضيين، والمنشطين والفنانين ضد ترك مقاعد الدراسة. انا ديمة نقول إلي الطفل إلي تمنعوا من قبضة الجهل يسوى ألف جندي. شعارنا اليوم لازم يكون "التعليم ضروري لبناء مستقبل أفضل."
