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.

Yeeha; Harold can join the international training!

Last Saturday morning Harold received an email from Diana from PBI IP that he is invited to join the international training in Portugal. We are both very happy and relieved and we hope that the training will work out positively. In a way that we both can join the Indonesia Project as international field volunteers.

Since this message came, Harold is very excited and also nerveus, there have been lots of new experiences in the last few months and we both have the feeling that there is a lot to explore and learn. Harold got already a lot of homework, pre-readings, articles and workbook assignments, hihi. At the end our roles turn in a way that Harold is doing the reading and internet preperation stuff. Have fun with the translations honey. (Harold is taking care of the dutch pages of our weblog, we are trying to keep them similar and up to date).
