Out of our hands

Yesterday evening Harold had his job interview for PBI with Stuart Bowman over the phone. He feels a bit dissapointed about the interview because he had the feeling that he lost his English languages skills at some times and also he was very nervous. Hopefully he will get selected for the next international training for the Indonesia Project in Lisbon, Portugal in september. It is out of our hands at the moment.

Preparation weekend in the stayokay in Bunnik

In the weekend of 29th of June Harold joined a preparation/trainingweekend with the Dutch PBI countrygroup. We are very happy to hear that the trainers see in Harold also a good PBI volunteer.

Yearday

The yearday of PBI Netherlands on the 9th of June in the Amnesty building was great. There was a lot of information about PBI and especially of the Dutch PBI countrygroup. Harold and I helped out that day and we especially liked the interview with the advocate;Rogelio Teliz Garcia from the Human Rights Organisation Tlachinollan in Mexico http://www.tlachinollan.org/. He explained very clearly the role of PBI in his daily work especially the way he gained more space to do his work. We also liked the interviews with the two former field volunteers in Mexico and Colombia, Marjolein van de Water and Moritz Tenthoff. They give us a good impression about the live in a PBI field team. During the day there was an ongoing exposition about the 25th anniversery of PBI, a short film about the Humans Rights situation in Guatamala, a lot of information in the information stand and music and dance from Nepal.
