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.

Yes, husband and wife! Thnx


Aren't we beautiful? ;))
We feel so happy together! In the middle of 2007 our whole wedding started out as a practical matter. Would'nt it be more easy to be married in Indonesia while working for BPI....?How romantic can it get! Well, after a relationship of already 20 years we did'nt really feel the need of being married in the first place, what difference would it make? We decided to have a party then since we would leave our family and friends for a long time and then there where wedding clothes for Harold and one day before the wedding there was a wedding dress for Meriam. Mmme the longer it take the more a real wedding was coming up.
At the end the 4th of april was coming up and there we met on the first floor of our house, mmme we really looked like we were going to get married and we looked really beautiful!
The whole day we felt like being very in love and very happy and very special, on top of that our family and friends made our day even more special, with beautiful romantic surprises and wonderful happy smiles.....
They always say something about the most beautiful day of your life stuff, now we know what they mean!

We want to thank all our family and friends for being with us and for making this day so wonderful and unforgetable for us. XXX
