2 weeks in Palestine

I volunteered for two weeks with Go Palestine, teaching English to local students helping them strengthen communication and speaking skills. I was also given Arabic lessons with a focus on local communication. The volunteer program included visits to refugee camps which offered first-hand insight into the resilience and daily challenges faced by displaced families. We visited the University of Hebron and spent an hour talking to students in an Applied English class, and visited the University Art and Book fair. A visit to the Palestinian Family Planning Centre highlighted vital community support services, broadening awareness of social development efforts. Another highlight was a day visiting Ramallah, and the Yasser Arafat museum which showcases the history of the Palestinian people. The entire experience has been incredible, I have learned so much and met amazing people, I'm already planning my next visit!
