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.

21th June 2008.Cycling to Kaliurang




Because we study very hard during the weekdays we really need some relaxing in the weekends. On Saturday morning at 5am we started to cycle up the hills of Kaliurang. As people from the Netherlands, no mountains!, it was quit a hard trip. But our new bikes were great and after 3 hours we arrived in Kaliurang (mountainvillage) were we could enjoy a great view of the Mount Merapi.

We also visited the famous Budha tempel Borobudur and watched sunset and sunrise overthere.
