So here we are nearly one week after my election as the new NJR. One productive meeting down.
You may have noticed you can now become 'a fan' of GeeBeeJayBee NJRs now on facebook or follow us on twitter. We decided to get technology happy this week so you guys can know what we're up to without having to trawl through long emails. Check us out and we'll keep you informed of anything exciting coming up!
In other Internet related news we are most viewed on JBpedia this month! Good work guys! We want to keep this up so make sure you keep googleing GB and why not check out some fellow GBJBers while you're there (like James and Jess)?
So it's NJB day on the 19th in Hull and we are really exciting about dressing up as 'Parrots and Pirates', can you guess which will be which?!
It would be great to see lots of happy faces there as the day after I move to Nottingham to university. Very exciting but a little scary!
The day after that, the 21st of September, is also a VERY important day! I do hope you know why! That's right - it's International Peace Day! Why not have a look on the Peace One Day website for some ideas about what you can do on the day. Big or small it all counts.
CISVers all over the world will be taking part in a project called 'Human Arrows' which aims to highlight one particular issue. This year they have chosen to raise awareness and draw attention to a new law passed in Lithuania that outlaws discussing homosexuality with minors, which is evidently against the freedom of expression, and an institutionalisation of homophobia. There is more information on our favourite friend JBpedia. Have a read and maybe try and organise a Human Arrow in your city. Feel free to email us at njr@gb.cisv.org if you need any ideas or help organising it or any other peace day project.
Well I think that's enough for my first blog,
See you at NJB day!
Jess (& James!)
