We (Sophina and me) Adam Taha at his house in Sheffield.
Sophina Hanif gave the diary and agreed that it will help make a difference to the world. This is what Adam said:
“If you keep it to yourself, then sure, it will remind you of what you’ve learn and discovered but..it will not impact the lives of others...”
She agreed that it be best to publish the diary as an ebook, physical and audio to generate cash for the children in Africa.
The background Of The Secret Diary
I took Sophina to Africa, Congo and the moment she landed in Africa, she couldn’t believe was she saw.
It wasn’t the poverty that got her although that was something that took her for surprise. It wasn’t even the many resources and millions going to Africa and yet, the people are suffering and money isn’t going to them.
It was talking to the children and seeing their hearts, their big dreams even when they played football with their bare feet and with handmade football.
The place where the people suffered the most with the Civil war.
It hit her hard because she comes from England and she’s seen how we got everything in England and yet, most don’t fight for their dreams. Most dream and do nothing.
Sophina wrote everyday in a diary on everything she saw to the lives of the children and what she learnt from the people. Not a day was missed.
I’m going to photocopy the pages so Adam sends outsources the work to be typed up. Then it’s creating the marketing strategy, the ebook, the physical book and audio too.
The Next Step
I've made another appointment with Adam Taha and we'll be meeting at his house again. I'll update you all very soon.
Remember, people of Africa, children - you're not alone.
We going to let people hear your story and I will come back with Sophina with what we promised. New equipment for your radio stations and funds to help with the school, books, football.
Remembering you all is the thing that gets me going and doing the work in England. England is an amazing country. A world full of good people.
