Volunteer with Palestinian Refugees

I was in Hebron for 1 week, i ve enjoyed the time there so much, the people were amazing and the staff of Go Palestine were too, we had some infrastructural problems with the appartment but the staff was ready to help us in all the ways we needed. The thing i enjoyed the most was the people i ve meet in this period, i had the possibility to share experiences with the other guys in the program and with the local people, i think i learned a lot about Palestine situation and culture and i think i will remember this for my entire life

The week I've spent in Khalil with Go Palestine feels, at the same time, an incredibly short period and a very long one. Short, because there's so much more I would like to do here, and long, because every day is filled with activities and experiences, and you feel like you're living life at the fullest. Over the days I've stayed here, I have met some incredible people whom I hope to see again, both international volunteers and locals. I knew I was going to meet some welcoming people, but the level of friendliness and hospitality you get is almost overwhelming! You truly get to feel like you are part of the family, both at the Centre and with the friends you make here. When it comes to the experiences you can make, the support of the staff is amazing, they are there to make sure you get to see as much as you can and do as much as you can, according to your skills and interests, never pushing you anyway. Moreover, you get to learn Arabic, if you stay long enough. So, I can't recommend Go Palestine enough!

Unfortunately, our stay was short, only one week. However, in this short period we were able to make many friends and experience some of the highs and the lows of the Palestinian life. The GoPalestine Center developed an amazing schedule for our week, two Refugee Camps and a visit to the Old City. We were provided with the best breakfast each morning and all the information we needed. I am sad to be leaving here tomorrow, like I am leaving behind good friends. I hope this review can influence someone to take the leap and come, it's very worth it!
