SOCIAL AND HEALTH
Specchio dei tempi and Somaliland have a strong connection. In 2011, a group of doctors and professionals from Turin, who had known Mohamed Aden Sheik, a Somali physician and the first black city councilor in Turin, during his lifetime, convened a press conference to denounce the precarious state of Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, which is suffering from a very severe drought. In those very days Mirror of the Times had launched a famine subscription in the Horn of Africa. The journalist present at that press conference, who is then who signs this article, returned to the newsroom with that idea in his head. He told Marco Marello, then secretary general of Mirror of the Times, about it, and the next day La Stampa headlined “We will do the children's hospital in Hargeisa.” An association the MAS CTH was created, which collected the donation from Mirror and a few other minor donations and went straight into planning. Less than a year later the construction site was up and running and in 2013 the hospital could open its doors, with 50 beds.
