Beschreibung
A collection of the voices of ten change-makers working or volunteering in their own country or region.
Countless change-makers significantly impact their own communities and regions around the world on a daily basis. Shifting Lines brings together the stories of ten such inspiring individuals working in social, humanitarian, development and peace-related fields. Their voices, while each echoing in their own right, all convey a dedication, determination, perseverance, passion and energy that is both thought-provoking and powerful. Most often their stories go unheard. And yet their voices are vital for transforming our today into a positive tomorrow. With Shifting Lines and our previous book, A Definition of Snow, published in 2019, VOICE aims at projecting their voices and making them available to readers all over the world.
“Just like A Definition of Snow, Shifting Lines is more than a book, it is a union of voices calling out for responsibility, positive change, humanity, sustainability, and ultimately, a better world for everyone!”
-Golda Poni, South Sudan
“Books in Baskets is my little voice in education, an echo that will be audible one day across the African continent.”

“The day will come when we will finally be able to say that no one on earth will die from preventable diseases. We, as entrepreneurs, build start-ups because we see huge gaps in the system. Problems that if we, together, don't solve, no one else will.”
-José Zea and Laura Velásquez, Colombia
“I had zero resources, but I had a plan.”
-Akinyi Awora, Kenya
