ABOUT ME

The best way to know me is to relate one of the happiest moment of my life. Before starting my career as a journalist, I was a group leader in Great Britain during three years. Day to day I organised social activities for children who came from all over the world (Syria, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Deutschland, Poland, Spain, Turkey, France etc.). It was a wonderful experience. An efficient tool against discriminations. When a young jew and a young muslim share unforgettable moments together, it dismantles prejudice. But make no mistake! Each night, I dont pray for Michael Jackson holding a candle in one hand and wearing a t-shirt where it's written "We are the world". Im not naive. I just believe in some humanist values.

PHILOSOPHY

In french : " Si mes amis sont heureux ; Je serai moins misérable". In english (sorry for the translation) : "If my friends are happy, i'll be less miserable". VOLTAIRE's quotation.
