PBI making space for peace

Peace Brigades International (PBI) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which protects human rights and promotes nonviolent transformation of conflicts.When invited, they send teams of volunteers into areas of repression and conflict. The volunteers accompany human rights defenders, their organizations and others threatened by political violence. Perpetrators of human rights abuses usually do not want the world to witness their actions. The presence of volunteers backed by a support network helps to deter violence. PBI CREATES SPACE for local activists to work for social justice and human rights.

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.
