Volunteering at Karama definitely recommendable to open-minded people

My stay at Karama was a very interesting and of course a tough experience. The NGO is small, there is not many resources and the situation in Deheishe and Palestine in general is very tough to bear. The NGO is run with fierce principles and strong ideas, so during my time I have met volunteers that didn't like the experience. I would say that a volunteer's experience depends on its own position and openness to learn from the Palestinians - and not thinking you are there to teach them. Trust me, they know better than anyone else which problems they face and if you are open to learn and to open up to the Karama's principles and ideas, you will have the best experience and you will return with a lot of knowledge and good experiences. If you open up, you realize it is a very passionate NGO, that does an amazing job with the few resources available.
