Safety and security in Palestine
When you go to visit Israel and Palestine it is clear, that will enter a different world than you are used to in Europe/America.
However, I always felt very comfortable and safe during my stay.

Liked most in Palestine
very very very friendly people!
Always got help when I needed it
Hospitality is not just a word - it is part of the Palestinian DNA

I can fully recommend the excellence Center for other students / volunteers and would be very happy if I might come back in 2023.

Thank you for the wonderful four weeks.
