Losing Touch - Beirut
<p>9 years ago, we - Diane, Paul and Marielle - went around the streets of Beirut to meet inspiring people whose trades were disappearing. 50 testimonies and portraits of wonderful men and women. Their passion, their dreams, their advice, and their unwavering love for this city.</p>
<p><strong>Back then, Beirut was already changing and we wanted to encapsulate its soul. Little did we know that a few years later, on an August afternoon, it would be totally and brutally destroyed. </strong></p>
<p>This sale's purpose is to keep honoring Beirut's heritage, help rebuild it and restore its soul by donating the revenues to NAHNOO, a Lebanese NGO having an impact on the ground.<br />

À quoi servira la collecte
<p><strong>Since this book was always about honoring the Beirutis, 100% of the revenues will be donated to NAHNOO.</strong></p>
<p>NAHNOO is a non-governmental organization that works towards an inclusive society, focusing on three key subjects: good governance, public spaces and cultural heritage.<br />
<strong>The reason why we chose NAHNOO as the beneficiary NGO </strong>is that they have several projects that benefit the types of artisans that we talk about in the book. They support their development, develop studies to dignify their trade, provide trainings to enrich their skills, etc.<br />
Since August 4th, they have been focusing their efforts on the most vulnerable areas and people, to ensure a strong impact on a local and national level.<br />
