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.

Papua, finaly but first a review of the last month in Yogya

This is a shame. Since July 7th this blog is not up-dated. We do put pictures on facebook though and we hope that makes up for it. We worked hard to finish our languageschool in August, but everything went well.
At the end of Harold's workshop.
Before ending our languageschool we had a good holiday in Java with the family of Harold. Together with Jolanda, Fons and father Passage we visited the Prambanan, Borobudur, the Bromo vulcano and plantations in East Java. We spent a very nice day on the beach en enjoyed being together.
Saying goodbye when leaving Yogya was hard, but it was also excited to move towards our goal in Indonesia and start our work for PBI in Papua.
