I was a volunteer in the Guatemala project and since then I follow closely the work of PBI, which is very important for the people who fight every day for their rights.

PBI has impacted my way of thinking at the level of my political involvement. PBI’s work is important to make visible and know the order of the world economy that contributes to the exploitation of certain populations and to generate awareness and change and solidarity with the people who suffer from this exploitation.

PBI has impacted me because during the year I gave my best  and I had the opportunity to be in the field and learn from the team as well as from the people and organizations we accompanied. I developed communication, strategy, empathy and teamwork skills. A real political school

Protective accompaniment is effective and necessary. Collaborating with PBI has changed many beliefs that I had, personally I have learned other ways to manage conflicts, non-violent communication, and manage psychosocial impacts

I will always have much admiration for the defenders, I feel it as a privilege to have the opportunity to meet and accompany them, to share experiences with them. In spite of many serious difficulties they continue their struggle. It is an example for me.

PBI has trained me and given me experience in the defense of human rights in Mexico, where I still live today.

PBI has been a school, where I learned a lot of new skills, but also where we generated a family and a network of people committed to the defense of human rights.

I think it is extremely important to accompany and make visible the work of human rights defenders for the construction of peace, justice and care for the environment
