MILAN - Participating in the mourning for the victims of the protests in Tunisia, Inter Campus and Pirelli announce their commitment to set up a joint social project for Tunisian children, once peace has been restored to the area.

The project - which will be named after Mohamed Bouazizi in memory of his extreme act of protest in the name of freedom - will see the expansion of Inter Campus to Tunisia. Since 1997 Inter Campus has implemented 23 flexible and long-term social and cooperation programmes throughout the world with the assistance of 200 local instructors, using football as an educational tool to restore the right to play to 10,000 needy children aged 8-14.

To promote the Inter Campus Tunisia project, Afef Jnfen and Samuel Eto'o recorded a video this morning at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti underlining their desire and commitment to help children.

It was her first time at the Centro Sportivo Angelo Moratti. Not as an Inter fan but to help Tunisia through Inter Campus, which will set up a joint project with Pirelli in aid of Tunisian children. Afef Jnifen spoke to Inter Channel about the project and the importance of Samuel Eto'o's support for it, after the two of them made a video appeal together this morning.

"Today is a very important day: it's a day to commemorate the victims of the revolution started by young Tunisians - the Jasmine revolution," said Afef. "Lots of Inter players have given me moral support and we are going to set up a project with Inter Campus. We want young Tunisians to know that they have achieved something great and we will keep supporting it."

"Samuel Eto'o," she added, "offered his help immediately. He is very popular in Tunisia both because he plays for Inter and because he represents the African continent, which has been subjected to so many dictatorships down the years. It's the first time that a dictatorship has fallen in the way it fell in Tunisia, so it's very important for young Tunisians to see that they have the support of one of their idols. It should be the start of something beautiful - an aid project through football, which is a much loved sport in Tunisia too."

Afef ended her interview with Inter Channel by speaking about the importance of 'dignity': "Nobody in the world would leave their homeland if they could choose. People don't emigrate looking for fun. They emigrate to look for work and lots of people emigrate to get back the dignity they have had taken away from them. In lots of countries it's not only the basic living conditions that are lacking - being able to eat, go to school, to work; often they don't even have their dignity. Mohamed Bouazizi, who burnt himself to death and began the people's revolution, had been to university but he was selling fruit on the streets: they took away his dignity when they took away his wares and slapped him. You can't take poor people's dignity away from them. You shouldn't ever take anybody's dignity away from them but poor people should at least be allowed to keep their dignity. Because otherwise the risk is that you get these extreme gestures. You can do nothing worse than take away someone's dignity: even the calmest, wisest, most balanced person, if he loses his dignity, can become a danger - to himself and to others. Nobody has the right to take away another person's dignity."
