Durant les mois qui se sont déroulés en Uruguay, Omar Azzabi a eu l’occasion de travailler avec moi sur le projet UQÀMERCOSUD. En tant qu'assistante de gestion de projet, j’ai pu mesurer ses capacités d'organisation, relationnelles et d’adaptation. Il a su déployer des projets intéressants en autonomie pour des causes humanitaires en parallèle avec le travail de réalisation de notre documentaire. Le rythme de ce type travail nous impose généralement une cadence soutenue qu'Omar a su gérer et maîtriser. Il sait en outre faire preuve d’un réel esprit d’initiative, ainsi que d’une réelle capacité d’écoute et d’attention, qualités qu’il a démontré au sein de notre groupe de travail. Son enthousiasme dans le travail et sa prédisposition à aller au fond des choses avec curiosité sont en parfaite adéquation avec sa volonté de toujours chercher à s’investir davantage pour des causes diverses et variées. Aussi j’apporte tout mon soutien à ce jeune homme volontaire et profondément impliqué dans son travail et qui démontre une réelle opiniâtreté ainsi qu’une capacité d’adaptation certaine.
