As the saying goes; "if it’s not documented, it didn’t happen." Africa is a continent rich in history, with great stories of old showcasing acts of bravery among our people but for the most part that is all they are, stories. Without documentation, accurate facts about events could be lost in the transfer of information, as well as the credibility of the event itself. IPSF AfRO, in a quest to change an age-old narrative, is launching its first-ever history book. In it, there will be a clear depiction of where we have come from as a Regional Office and with it a sense of direction of where we are going in the future.
