He failed so many times to get to the UK (using so many different ways) but he remained undaunted and continued trying. We know he succeeded but many of us probably still felt happy for him when he finally got to UK immigration. A lesson for us all to persevere when facing difficulties.

I've experienced the best and worst of humanity. I've been detained and beaten, and welcomed and respected. And yet, this story - my story - is one of hope, not fear.'A journey of hope and connection, of finding humanity in unlikely places and building something for the future. If you're feeling bleak about the way things are going - this will do much to restore your faith.' StylistFrom the jasmine-scented streets of Damascus to uprisings, protest and being forced to flee his home, Hassan Akkad has experienced unbearable losses. Yet, he still holds on to hope and chooses to see the kindness in humanity every day.Since seeking asylum in the UK, Hassan's unshakeable instinct to raise awareness, help and connect, has seen him share not only his experience as a refugee, but to the coronavirus pandemic. Hassan documented his work as a cleaner on a London hospital Covid-19 ward. His photographs and advocacy shone a spotlight on the often overlooked NHS cleaners and porters and instigated a U-turn on a government bill that had excluded their families from the bereavement compensation scheme.Hassan has captured hearts the world over. He bridges national and political divides, his humanity, sense of service and ideals bring people together. Hope Not Fear is a campaigning message of triumphing over adversity, standing together and uniting in kindness and love. In this book, Hassan shows us why this is the single most important message of our time. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
