Program Reviews

Teaching English in Hebron was an amazing experience. The students either adults and kids were eager to learn and their enthusiasm was contagious. Living in Hebron provided a unique cultural immersion that enriched my understanding of the Palestinian people and their daily struggle.

The community's hospitality was incredible, making me feel welcomed and appreciated. This program is perfect for anyone looking to make a tangible impact while gaining a deeper appreciation for Palestinian culture. Highly recommended!

My experience with Go Palestine's volunteer program with refugees in Hebron was truly transformative. The staff was incredibly welcoming and always available to help. From the moment I arrived, I felt like a part of the community.

The program was well-organized, offering a variety of activities that allowed me to engage deeply with the refugees in Alfawar camp. Teaching English and helping with daily activities provided a meaningful way to contribute and also learn from the resilient and inspiring people I met. The cultural immersion was profound; living in Hebron gave me a firsthand understanding of the challenges and the incredible spirit of the Palestinian people.

It was heartwarming to see how the community in Hebron opened their homes and hearts to us volunteers. The program coordinators ensured we had everything we needed, from safety to cultural insights.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a positive impact while experiencing the Palestinians culture. It’s an eye opening experience that has left a lasting impression on me. Shukran Go Palestine, for this unforgettable journey :)

Loved the people, the food, the experience overall has been amazing. It has been very intresting to learn about the history of Hebron, the different families and their daily struggles under occupation. The food is also really good and the people have been really helpful everywhere, even strangers offer you guidance and help when needed. I also loved the activities we partook in, very educational and interesting. I really loved my time here and I hope to come back again next time when there’s finally a ceasefire and the people of Gaza can live in peace .

I start arabic lessons with Dua from Go Palestine and I ´m very happy with all. She is kind, patient and very professional . Allways with a positive attitude and a smile to start the class.
She is teaching me all the alphabet , phonetics, writing . We focus also to start a basic conversation . Is also nice to descover that many spanish words comes from arabic and many nome of cities too. She is wonderful women and teach me at the same time palestinan culture and we talk about West Bank.
I really think that she is the perfect teacher for me !!

Learning Arabic at Go Palestine and discovering the culture of Palestine has been an amazing experience, thanks to my great teacher. She is very dedicated, patient, and knows a lot, which makes every lesson fun. The materials she uses are good and not hard to understand. My Arabic has improved in many ways, and I learned a lot during my month of learning.

My time in Palestine was unforgettable. Visiting the refugee camps was very important and taught me many new things about the situation here in Hebron. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn Arabic easily and see the culture too.

I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Volunteer with Palestinian Refugees program by Go Palestine. It was definitly a meaningful experience. For five weeks, I worked closely with Palestinian refugees, both children and adults, assisting them with English conversation skills.

The program was well-organized and helped me understand the history and political situation, especially during these difficult times. The staff at Go Palestine were very supportive, especially Manar who was very kind and always ready to help. Palestinians who I met in Hebron welcomed me with open arms, making me feel like part of their family. My Arabic classes are one of the best parts of being in Palestine. I've learned so much in a short time, all thanks to my wonderful teacher, Ms. Duaa.

I strongly recommend this program to anyone who wants to learn more about the lives of Palestinian refugees.I plan to come back next year, inshallah :)

During my two weeks in Hebron, volunteering with a refugee program was an incredible experience. Teaching English to children at the Al Fawar War Camp was more than I thought it would be. It was "Momtaza" as my Arabic teacher taught me :)

Even though life under occupation isn't normal, but the strength and kindness of the Palestinian people deeply touched me. Palestine is truly a remarkable place to explore.

I truly recommand this program to anyone wanting to make a real difference and help Palestinian refugees in Al-Khalil.

Hi, I’m Adam, a 26-year-old from Poland. Visiting Palestine has always been a dream of mine, and I found the perfect opportunity at the Go Palestine Centre in Hebron. During my stay, I participated in both a media and industry internship, which I highly recommend to anyone interested in learning about Hebron. I also volunteered for one-on-one English teaching sessions and took Arabic lessons.

My days were full and enriching. Mornings were spent visiting local businesses or media outlets, where I learned firsthand about these industries and interviewed various professionals. Despite my limited Arabic, Ms. Hala from the centre translated everything for me, ensuring smooth and productive days. We also visited refugee camps, which was an eye-opening experience.

Afternoons were dedicated to teaching English or attending Arabic lessons with the talented Mohammad. Evenings offered me leisure time to meet new people and unwind. With two days off each week, I explored the West Bank—visiting Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Mar Saba, and Jericho, with Mar Saba being a standout.

My time in Hebron deepened my understanding of its culture. I explored the Old City, museums, Israeli settlements, and witnessed the impacts of occupation firsthand. Despite concerns, safety was never an issue; the locals were incredibly hospitable, and I encountered minimal issues with Israeli soldiers and checkpoints. Will come again!

Go Palestine is the perfect way to learn useable Arabic. I had weekly zoom classes with Dua’a, and self studied during the rest of the week using curriculum she recommended. Since I was starting from zero, it was slow progress, but she never gave up on me. Her goal was to teach me the beauty of the language, and she really did! It’s lovely and I can now read and write it. I love Palestine and have visited it numerous times, and Go Palestine only deepened my appreciation for its beautiful culture.

I feel so grateful to have found this program.

I began studying intensive Arabic with Ustaaza Dua'a and we created a study plan with clearly identified objectives for my learning journey. I entered this study as someone who had a few years of formal study/some experience speaking Arabic with family as a child - a mix of experiences which I thought may be difficult to accommodate. I wanted to focus on learning the Palestinian dialect but they offer classes for formal Arabic as well and that curriculum is often weaved into my coursework.

Dua'a had no problems creating tailored lessons for me and from day one I began learning Arabic that I was immediately able to use. The learning materials are fantastic - I have studied languages all my life, including doing a dual degree in French and a minor in Japanese and the materials we used and instruction methodology is as good if not better than any I've had. Dua'a is a gifted and empowering teacher and all of the Go Palestine team are extremely kind, enthusiastic about what they do, and willing to go to great lengths to accommodate your needs.
