Nach dem Abitur beschließt Jasmin im Rahmen eines Freiwilligendiensts für ein Jahr nach Togo zu gehen. Ihre Besonderheit: sie ist sehbeeinträchtigt und sieht zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Reise auf dem besseren Auge nur noch zehn Prozent. Wohlgemerkt mit Brille. Nach der Suche nach ihrem verschollenen Koffer und der ersten Malariaerkrankung, geht es für Jasmin in das togolesische Dorf Balanka, rund eine Tagesreise von dem Rest der Freiwilligen entfernt. Dort arbeitet sie in einer Bibliothek und muss zunächst einmal lernen ihre ganzen Gastgeschwister zu unterscheiden. Später reist sie mit ihrer Gastschwester in die Hauptstadt, gerät auf dem Rückweg in gewaltsame Ausschreitungen und organisiert, nachdem sie währenddessen einen blinden Abiturienten traf, ein Spendenprojekt für ihn und seine blinden, sehbeeinträchtigten Mitschüler, um diese mit neuen Blindenstöcken auszustatten.Im Anschluss an den Ramadan und das Opferfest, welche Jasmin mit ihrer muslimischen Gastfamilie begeht, fährt sie mit einer anderen Freiwilligen weiter in den Norden Togos, steht Kopf an Kopf mit einem Elefanten und schläft auf einem UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe unter den Sternen, ohne Handyempfang, Strom oder fließend Wasser. Ehrlich und einfühlsam erzählt Jasmin von den Hürden, Vorurteilen und Tiefpunkten während des Freiwilligendienstes und untermalt ihre Erzählung mit Zitaten aus ihrem Tagebuch. Gegen Ende des Jahres wird ihr Glück in Balanka getrübt, denn ihre Mutter erkrankt schwer an Krebs. Lange ist es ungewiss, ob Jasmin sie noch einmal lebendig wiedersehen wird. Zurück in Deutschland muss sich Jasmin erst wieder eingewöhnen und kämpft zudem das gesamte erste Studiensemester um ihre Hilfsmittelausstattung. Mit der Zeit lernt sie ihre Sehbeeinträchtigung, die sie vor Togo immer versuchte zu verbergen, anzunehmen und immer offener damit umzugehen.Gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann (¿Mr.Blindlife¿), dem größten blinden Content Creator im deutschsprachigen Raum, zeigt Jasmin zudem, dass man mit Beeinträchtigung genauso viel erreichen kann, wie ohne. Vielleicht muss man manchmal mehr improvisieren oder investieren, aber letztendlich ist so viel mehr möglich, als man anfangs denkt.Pro verkauften Buch geht ein Euro an den Verein 'Bildung für Balanka e.V:', in dessen Bildungszentrum Jasmin während ihres Freiwilligendiensts tätig war. Der Verein fördert sowohl Bildungs- als auch Umweltschutzprojekte in Balanka.

A New York Times bestseller! "A hard-hitting resource for action and change." --Booklist (starred review) "We don't see color." "I didn't know Black people liked Star Wars!" "What hood are you from?" As a student in a largely white high school, Frederick Joseph often simply let wince-worthy moments go. When he grew older, he saw them as missed opportunities to stand up for himself and bring awareness to those who didn't see the hurt they caused.

Each chapter also features the voice and experience of an artist or activist, including Angie Thomas, author of The Hate U Give; April Reign, creator of #OscarsSoWhite; and Jemele Hill, sports journalist and podcast host.

Das Debattenbuch zur KlimakriseHeute an die Zukunft denken, bedeutet, an den Klimawandel zu denken, der als Klimakatastrophe, gar als Klimaapokalypse daherkommt. Die Angstmächtigkeit des Klimawandels ist absolut nachvollziehbar, die prophezeiten Verheerungen beispiellos. Doch die Menschheit war schon häufig mit apokalyptischen Bedrohungen konfrontiert, allein in den letzten vierzig Jahren mit dem atomaren Wettrüsten, AIDS, dem Ozonloch, BSE und nicht zuletzt Corona. Was haben die Menschen befürchtet? Was ist tatsächlich eingetreten? Worin unterscheidet sich der Klimawandel von vorigen apokalyptischen Szenarien? Thomas Brussig plädiert in diesem klugen Debattenbuch für Augenmaß und Nüchternheit. Wenn wir das Unvermeidbare hinnehmen und unsere Anstrengungen und Ideen auf das Vermeidbare konzentrieren, lässt die Klimakrise noch Raum für Hoffnung und Zuversicht. 'Wir balancieren zwar am Abgrund, aber darin sind wir, wie es scheint, ziemlich gut. Und vielleicht sollte genau dies auch unser Erfolgsgeheimnis als Menschheit bleiben: Fürchte jede Gefahr so, als könnte sie dich umbringen, dann wird schon alles gutgehen.'

So many are making choices based on their preferences or feelings instead of the truth as revealed in the Scriptures.Amid the confusion in the world today, it is clear that the Christians; especially Christian youths are targeted. Many are losing their spiritual identity in the market place and operating in the flesh just as the unbelieving youths. We must focus on knowing our identity in Christ and training others to boldly stand with the knowledge of this unshaken identity in Christ in order to resist the pressures to conform to the mould of the world. This is 'True Empowerment'! The Church should be about the business of empowering the emerging leaders for the glory of God.
