FLORENCE - It is the presentation of a unique event, one that took place this morning at Palazzo Strozzi churchyard. From 18 to 28 September 2009, under the patronage of the Tuscany Region and the Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena, more than three hundred children from across the Inter Campus of the world are meeting in Florence and Siena. Schedule to the technical center of Coverciano, valid for winning the World Cup Inter Campus, very game, in the simplest sense of the word, and even cooperation with schools, that of the nineteen countries represented will make a person study of children and the real ambassadors of their reality.
to speak first to the President of the Tuscany Region, Claudio Martini, who stressed the commitment of the whole on the front of solidarity, defining what has been done by the Intercampus opportunity to give children a sort of "unexpected dream."
On behalf of Inter, Massimo Moratti has thanked the Tuscany Region and the Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena for supporting the event. "Inter Campus is born of complicated things, but from the fact that if you are familiar with situations of great poverty, it is instinctive to want to do something. The stock in this has the chance to do much more than the others: it is loved, has a contact directed with great clubs through the football make beautiful things. We started with the favelas in Brazil, we intervened in Kosovo during the war, we were in Israel and then we went to many countries, with the same, wonderful response from the children, who have lived and live this experience as something that came the unexpected. They felt concerned, they had found a 'friend', they felt important, with the shirt. We did not progress to develop this reality, but we preferred to find the right conditions and instructors. Care must be taken. Hence the idea of \u200b\u200bMassimo Moretti not dreamed of living the dream with the World Cup. Italy was a country for their spectacular, but for us it is spectacular see these children happy. All of this is the son of a great simplicity of the bottom and see these children happy is the great feedback. We do not find samples through Inter Campus, there is apparently a return, but the sympathy, benevolence, word of mouth among the various nations is so much echo that exceeds any competitive team and its great victories. This World Cup is a reward for the children, and for us. "
Massimo Moretti, President of the Inter Campus, detailed the initiative." The kids end their experience at thirteen, a date that coincides with the term compulsory schooling and attend it, which is not easy in many countries. We are into their reality, sometimes even negotiate with drug traffickers, with those who recycle waste, we accompany children in their own reality, and the shirt is a symbol of their dignity. The moment the game is always the most beautiful and in many countries children can not play. In Brazil, we had to choose a few children about four thousand, so we delegate the choice to the local organizers, on the basis of who had the most difficulty. These children, who have nothing, were able to regain altruism and have taught there again. We will have with us a delegation to Israel and Palestine, which will stay with the same casacchina: we convinced them, thanks to the foundation Perez, to be united. Children are not to blame: their stories are stories of families who have great dignity, who will meet other children, friends. In a time when immigration is so controversial, the fact that we will face great cooperation, with great humility, is important. I found in those who accompanied us in Tuscany high affinity. Will only Cuba, including the Inter Campus, there is concern that the revolutionary spirit is polluted, but they themselves were the first to encourage us to continue what has been done to date. "
Gabriel Mancini, president of the Fondazione Monte dei Paschi di Siena, said the spirit of choice. "Let me stress that our cooperation foundation with the Tuscany region, which is divided in many projects. At the base we have a concept of subsidiarity, such as banking foundation, and in this case, the cooperation with Inter Campus enables us to perform an intervention nice. Foundations like ours are born to promote the development of the territory, we try to give a positive answer also to look far, because to grow a territory is not just about increasing income, but to increase the sense of ethical, moral, educational and aim the development of a collective growth of the community ".
Massimo Toschi, Regional Councillor for International Cooperation, had words convinced." This morning I was at the celebration of fifteen years of Emergency, just Milly Moratti is the President of the Foundation: the heart of Africa were more than two thousand children operated nell'opsedale in Khartoum, Sudan. It is a special time for Florence and Tuscany, we live in solidarity, but Inter Campus is an act of great political will reach children from Iran, southern Lebanon, Israel and Palestine is not a simple thing. They move with their families that allow children to participate, they move the realities of life. Schools and give food to these children means building the future of the world. Ten days await you beautiful, but not limited to this experience means to make extraordinary witness of peace, large remember having played each other. Bringing together children different countries is not only an action of umanitaresimo is a great action for the future, for which it is right to thank Massimo Moratti and Inter. "
