Health and Environment Internship

The people at Go Palestine are all very helpful, kind, good communicators, and have very good knowledge and insights. The advanced coordination and information was very helpful so I had more idea of what to expect. I also left my mind open to see what would happen and go with the flow. My Arabic classes were good. Giving English classes was fun but a little chaotic as I do not have experience with this, and when we had a large group of students, it was hard to manage the dynamics. My visits with healthcare and environmental professionals were very insightful in helping me understand how the systems are working in Hebron and in Palestine in general. It was really an honor to have time with these professionals who care so much about their work and their patients or the environment here. They are also facing challenges due to the political situation and it was helpful to understand that more. The visit to the old city was wonderful and also helps me understand the current situation. I had a fun cooking class and was happy to learn how to make Maqluba. It was delicious! In Hebron, I was never uncomfortable except for the hot weather which of course no one can control. I felt Hebron is safe and peaceful. I asked people when I needed something and they were always willing to help. It has been a great experience!
