Yesterday, PBI-Colombia welcomed five new volunteers. The project noted: “From PBI-Colombia we receive with great enthusiasm the new brigade members, who from the Urabá-Bogotá and Barrancabermeja teams will accompany Colombian human rights organizations in their work of defense for life and peacebuilding.”
The brigadistas highlight: “Being part of PBI fills us with emotion and reaffirms the personal convictions that brought us so far, to get deeply and closely involved in the defense of human rights. …We continue to walk energetically and actively in the construction of a more just, dignified and safe world for all.”
PBI-Honduras, November 9
At the same time, PBI-Honduras is seeking new field volunteers.
They have posted: “To start the training and selection process you have to meet the requirements detailed below, complete the personal application and ask for two references from the associative, militant, solidarity, work, NGO or academic field. These people will have to complete the referral form and send this documentation to formacion@pbi-honduras.org until November 9, 2024, inclusive.”
Those who are selected out of that process will then take part in a training week: “The training will be carried out in person in May 2025 in Europe (Basque Country or Italy) or in Latin America (Honduras or Colombia), during 8 days of intensive training.”
And then those selected from the training week who choose to move forward with this will be incorporated into teams, but PBI-Honduras notes: “ incorporation into the team is not immediate, sometimes it takes several months.”

For now, we welcome the new PBI-Colombia volunteers and look forward to meeting the new PBI-Honduras volunteers next year!
