First days

Posted on 31 Jan 2008 at 13:02

The first few days have already gone by! It is really good to see that much has changed since the last timeĀ I was here! Beside the premises at Mother of Peace (a childrens place of safety), Bobbi Bear rents a house, where they have offices and a counceling room as well.

It was really nice to see everyone here again! People here are so enthousiastic! They really make you feel at home. At the moment I'm staying at a cottage at Mother of Peace together with 3 other volunteers.

On the second day we were here we went to court to oppose bail. The accused is suspected of sexual assault on two boys. Being at a court case is an interesting experience. Some people they have to call people from outside, some of the accused are just not there. You are just sitting between people who are accused of (attempted) murder, victims, family of victims. Today we had to go back for judgement on the case. Lukely he has to stay in custody until his case appears. So that was our first succes!
