My Unforgettable Experience in Hebron with the Excellence Center

I spent a week in Hebron and undertook several activities with the team in the Excellence Center. It was an amazing experience in which I taught English to children between the ages of 8-15. I was also able to immerse myself in the culture and met a lot of locals who were so welcoming. We were also able to see a lot of historical sites such as Al-Ibrahimi mosque and the old town. The team were always on hand to ensure we were comfortable and on our days off we visited Bethlehem and Jerusalem.

Our highlight of the trip was undoubtably staying with our host family who always cooked us Palestinian food such as Makluba and were so lovely to us. Palestine always felt very safe, there were always people around to ensure we were comfortable. After spending time here, we would definitely want to return due to the warm nature of the people and the beauty of this country. I would urge anyone who is considering to come to the Center to come as you will not regret it.
