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.

Good news!


Spiderweb-game during the training


Day off from the training on the beach.

I had a great time during my international training in Lisbon and I met some nice people. Nevertheless Meriam and I missed eachother a lot and we called eachother every night during the training. Finally we were together again and enjoyed a wonderful and very romantic holiday on the Indonesian island Bali. Back from Bali we received good news...they want me too as an international volunteer.
