The Palestinian Center - Go Palestine

The people at Go Palestine are all very helpful, kind, good communicators, and have very good knowledge and insights. The advanced coordination and information was very helpful so I had more idea of what to expect. I also left my mind open to see what would happen and go with the flow. My Arabic classes were good. Giving English classes was fun but a little chaotic as I do not have experience with this, and when we had a large group of students, it was hard to manage the dynamics. My visits with healthcare and environmental professionals were very insightful in helping me understand how the systems are working in Hebron and in Palestine in general. It was really an honor to have time with these professionals who care so much about their work and their patients or the environment here. They are also facing challenges due to the political situation and it was helpful to understand that more. The visit to the old city was wonderful and also helps me understand the current situation. I had a fun cooking class and was happy to learn how to make Maqluba. It was delicious! In Hebron, I was never uncomfortable except for the hot weather which of course no one can control. I felt Hebron is safe and peaceful. I asked people when I needed something and they were always willing to help. It has been a great experience!

It has been really nice to get to know people from Palestine, speak with them and understand the actual situation. The center provide me of different activities that made it possible. Thank you. The arabic classes are really useful and you can use what you learn in the streets and shops. The volunteers are really nice and kind.

I had an amazing experience during my time here. One of the highlights was teaching English to local children. This was such a fun and rewarding experience, and seeing their enthusiasm made the lesson memorable. I also had the opportunity to take part in meaningful cultural exchanges with local people. Everyone I met was incredibly welcoming, kind, and eager to share their stories and traditions, which made my stay even more special. I took Arabic classes as well, and Tala was absolutely wonderful. She has a fantastic way of breaking down vocabulary and grammar into simple, easy to understand explanations, making learning Arabic much less intimidating and genuinely enjoyable. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe throughout my stay. The support, hospitality, and genuine care I received gave me confidence to explore and fully enjoy the experience. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking for a meaningful combination of volunteering, language learning, and cultural immersion. It was an unforgettable experience that I will always treasure.
