Reading List: Leila Janah

Aggiornamento: 1 mag 2018

L'originale lista contiene 108 tra libri e altre opere (film, talk, canzoni) 'Life-changing' secondo Leila Janah, founder di Samasource e LXMI, due compagnie che hanno l'obiettivo di aiutare le persone tramite non solo la carità, ma invece tramite la formazione sul lavoro digitale. Leila è infatti autrice del libro 'Give Work: Reversing Poverty One Job at a Time', dove spiega nel dettaglio proprio questo concetto.


Vi consiglio vivamente di approfondire il suo lavoro perché molto interessante e il messaggio è davvero importante.

Di seguito l'elenco esclusivamente dei libri, potete invece trovare la lista originale completa qui.
