1 Week Volunteering Teaching English and Learning German

It has been a genuinely unforgettable experience. I have loved the communal and familial environment around the Excellence Center, especially the shared breakfasts with Rafat, Muaz, and the other volunteers (ex: Meghan and Sam). It gives you a beautiful opportunity to get to know new people, learn about each others' culture and always start the day with a smile.

Teaching English has also been a great experience as through one to one lessons, and greater proximity to the student, enables you to create a more personal connection, tailor the lesson to their likings, get to know a new culture through their perspective, and make a more impactful difference.

Learning German with Enrico has also been great, moving the lesson focus to a topic I was personally interested in: history.

It has truly been a culturally enriching experience that I entirely recommend and am grateful for the kindness of the people I have met. I hope that if you're reading this you also have the opportunity to experience what I have experienced.
