Teach English in Palestine

I didn’t plan to visit Palestine. I thought it would be a very dangerous place, but my experience here proved me wrong. It’s actually very safe, and the people are kind and welcoming. I even got to celebrate an unforgettable birthday here. These two weeks have been truly special. Talking to locals gave me a better understanding of their lives and the challenges they face. I’m sure this experience will stay with me and help me in my personal and work life.

I had the opportunity to teach English to a group of young adults, aged 17-21, and the bond we developed was truly special. Their eagerness to learn and engage in our discussions was deeply inspiring. I also had the privilege of working with the fantastic staff at the Palestinian center, particularly Ms. Ahlam, whose support was essential throughout my teaching experience. I’m incredibly thankful for this amazing opportunity.

I really enjoyed working at a center with children because they were always excited to meet foreigners, speak English, and ask questions about our cultures and traditions. The children were very engaged in learning. During my volunteering, we visited the Old City of Hebron, historical sites, factories, and refugee camps. We saw how Palestinians live under Israeli occupation and spoke with people affected by it. In the factories, we observed the processes of making glass, pottery, and textiles. We also held English classes in beautiful Palestinian villages. Thank you, Palestine.
