I loved my time in Hebron!

July 14, 2025by: Michael Selman - United StatesProgram: Volunteer in the West Bank

My time in Hebron was a life-altering experience. In the course of my volunteer activities, the opportunities to meet and interact with Palestinian people brought me so much joy and gratification. My primary volunteer activity was speaking English with conversation partners in sessions lasting one and a half hours. However, they often continued much longer. The conversation partners were all able to speak confidently in English, allowing us to have relaxed and frank conversations across a range of subjects. I especially enjoyed meeting with the conversation partners more than once a week, even several times a week when they were available. I left Hebron with a feeling of sadness at leaving my new friends behind, but with resolute determination that I will see every one of them again. Exploring Hebron, a Palestinian city with a rich history, was how I spent most of my free time. The Old City is no longer what it once was due to regrettable circumstances, including divisions that make it incomplete. Still, it is an enchanting, magical place where one can walk while imagining what a magnificent place it was when it was filled with residents and shops, creating a vibrant and thriving city. Finally, walking the streets of Hebron let me experience the warmth, kindness, and generosity of the Palestinian people. I looked forward to my evening strolls, and they never disappointed. I met more people than I can count, and I am so grateful to have met each and every one.
