PBI’s work has impacted my personal growth, my professional knowledge and career. I have moved on to a post-master project where I worked for another NGO. After that I decided to commit myself to political awareness in my own country

I like the cultural exchange that is part of PBI’s work. PBI’s work is important in part because no one else is doing the same thing

I think PBI’s work is extremely important, as it contributes to establishing safe bases for HRD’s to carry out their essential work. I value that PBI acknowledges local capacities and knowledge by adopting a non-interference approach
