The Time of My Life in Palestine

January 12, 2026by: Lara Wilson - Australia

Program: Volunteer in the West Bank - Teach English to Palestinians

10

Volunteering in the West Bank and teaching English was one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. The focus on conversational English made the classes feel natural and alive. We talked about daily life, culture, traditions, and personal experiences, which helped students feel more relaxed and less afraid of speaking English. At the beginning, many students were shy, but little by little their confidence grew. They started speaking more freely, laughing, and sharing their opinions without worrying too much about mistakes. One moment I will never forget was when we were practicing everyday conversations and a student confidently said, “Yesterday I cooked my phone instead of my food.” The whole class burst into laughter, including the student, and it turned into a great lesson about mistakes being part of learning. What stayed with me the most was the genuine connection with the people. Sharing stories, jokes, and small moments during class created a strong sense of trust and mutual understanding. This experience was not just about teaching English, it was about learning from each other and growing together. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to do something meaningful, connect on a human level, and truly understand daily life in the West Bank.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that teaching English in the West Bank was such a meaningful journey for you. It’s wonderful that the students gained confidence, laughed, and enjoyed learning through real conversations—and moments like “cooking your phone” really show the joy of learning together! We’re glad you could connect so deeply with the community and experience mutual growth. Your story perfectly captures the heart of this program, and we’re happy you would recommend it to others looking for a meaningful and human connection.
