VVOB ambassador

For the people who didn't know ...

In November 2013 I won the first price for the best sensitisation/ awareness- raising activity

First of all I want to thank all the people who helped me and supported me in setting up these activities. Without your help I would not have won this award.


I'll shortly describe the activities that I did to win the award. In August I had an interview with Johan Santy about my internship, the volunteering work, my point of view about my studies and my further life. This interview appeared in the newspaper: "De Krant van West-Vlaanderen" together with a nice picture from the VVOB team in Cambodia. 
An other part of the activities was my blog. My blog exist since I went to Cambodia for my internship, and I kept on writing about what I was doing there during my volunteering work. Through this way I kept the people at home informed about everything, and also people I don't know were interested in reading my blog.
The most important activity was the exhibition with pictures about my internship and volunteering work in Cambodia. The exhibition took place in the town hall of Zwevegem from the middle of November till the end of February. During the opening I was there to give people more information about what VVOB was doing in Cambodia, and what my role was. Otherwise there were also information signs below the pictures to make everything on the picture clear. Now I'm moving the exhibition to Ghent, where I'll place it in the Artevelgehogeschool.
