The sun returns with its beauty, allowing me to enjoy the calm Latvian landscapes while traveling to work. What a privilege to admire the picturesque wild forests, vast snow white fields, and houses with pink sunrise-colored smoke rising from their chimneys. #SmallTownLiving #NordicLiving #NGOlife

Preparing my guest lecture on the work of NGOs for students at John Cabot University and including a picture of the Civic Space Openness Monitor, as I always do. It helps me appreciate the freedom I have and reminds me of my responsibility to make the world a better place however I can. #NGOlife

It's never enough to bring in national realities in rhe meeting rooms of Brussels. Today had a great opportunity to speak on NGOs in civil protection in Latvia within experts' hearing on opinion requested by Polish Presidency. #NGOlife
