Yesterday, I joined the 5yrs celebration of Nijmegen Shelter City @bibliotheekgelderlandzuid. This program invites human rights and environmental activists from abroad to learn, and especially to come to rest in a safe environment, for 3 months. We met William from Friends of Zoka, Uganda. He fights illegal logging of forests. He gets threatened every day and his family has to live elsewhere, because his work threatens their lives too. William told he sometimes felt so small and dehumanized. He and his wife discussed: is it worth it? They decided: yes. I respect this kind of people deeply. They make sacrifices for causes that concern us all. Thank you activists worldwide for waking us up.
