I was in Hebron for 1 week, i ve enjoyed the time there so much, the people were amazing and the staff of Go Palestine were too, we had some infrastructural problems with the appartment but the staff was ready to help us in all the ways we needed.

The thing I enjoyed the most was the people i ve meet in this period, i had the possibility to share experiences with the other guys in the program and with the local people, i think i learned a lot about Palestine situation and culture and i think i will remember this for my entire life

The week I've spent in Khalil with Go Palestine feels, at the same time, an incredibly short period and a very long one. Short, because there's so much more I would like to do here, and long, because every day is filled with activities and experiences, and you feel like you're living life at the fullest. Over the days I've stayed here, I have met some incredible people whom I hope to see again, both international volunteers and locals. I knew I was going to meet some welcoming people, but the level of friendliness and hospitality you get is almost overwhelming! You truly get to feel like you are part of the family, both at the Centre and with the friends you make here. When it comes to the experiences you can make, the support of the staff is amazing, they are there to make sure you get to see as much as you can and do as much as you can, according to your skills and interests, never pushing you anyway. So, I can't recommend Go Palestine enough!

It was important for me to visit Go Palestine to understand the plight of local people from daily life that I experienced along side of them. I came to hear about life and the truth and this is what occurred in my time. The aspect of my trip having to do with my program was successful because of the existing strong community connections of the coordinators. Thereof, I had the opportunity to assist in health related projects. This is important to me as a nurse and in my vision to contribute while I travel and have vital cultural exchange in the places I visit and the people I meet. Therefore I am thankful I connected with this program Go Palestine because had I not, I would not have been able to see, speak with and enjoy the people I met and the experiences I had with the help program and it's avid workers. Furthermore, I enjoyed the social and travel excursions offered which gave me variation from the other scheduled events in my day. Altogether this allows me to take away my time with Go Palestine to understand world events, active sociopolitical challenges, and give me the clarity I require to engage conversations about current events and oppressed populations.

Unfortunately, our stay was short, only one week. However, in this short period we were able to make many friends and experience some of the highs and the lows of the Palestinian life. The GoPalestine Center developed an amazing schedule for our week, two Refugee Camps and a visit to the Old City. We were provided with the best breakfast each morning and all the information we needed. I am sad to be leaving here tomorrow, like I am leaving behind good friends. I hope this review can influence someone to take the leap and come, it's very worth it!

I feel very fortunate to have heard about GoPalestine (via a friend of a friend) as the centre has given me an invaluable opportunity to visit Palestine. I was only able to take 2 weeks off work, but the centre has many flexible volunteering oppotunities to suit all lengths of stays. The team at the centre have been so welcoming and helpful, they all work very hard to give visitors the opportunity to learn about Palestine and to give the local people opportunities to improve their English speaking (as well as other learning experiences). It has been very enriching to speak with local people about their day-to-day lives, their experiences, their struggles and their aspirations and I look forward to sharing their stories back home in Australia. The people of Hebron have shown us such warm hospitality, it has been such a privilege to visit and experience the friendliness and generosity of the Palestinian people. If you are considering visiting Palestine, I highly recommend volunteering with GoPalestine.

My time with Go Palestine was short but amazing. I gained a valuable insight into the daily life of Palestinians and met so many amazing people. Visiting the refugee camps was an experience I won't forget.

At Go Palestine you feel supported and encouraged to make the most out of your experience there. You will be able to practice your Arabic as well make new friends. Seeing the realities of life in Hebron is a privilege I won't forget, being able to spend time listening to thew refugees in the camps is a a huge honour.

I came here because I felt a strong calling to connect with Palestinian culture and people and I found myself integrating here very quickly. People here really value generosity and have invited me to celebrations, weddings, meals and into their houses for tea on a daily basis. I feel completely safe here and would recommend anybody who is interested in the true culture of the Holy Land to take a trip here and experience the hospitality and warmth of the people. I highly recommend it and everyone should come here.

Hello! I’m Mia from Australia. With the current situation in Gaza, my visit to the West Bank to help refugees felt very important. I’ve always been interested in Palestine, and this trip let me connect with the wonderful people of Hebron.

I volunteered with Go Palestine, teaching English to kids in Al Aroop Camp age 11 to 12. Their excitement about having a new teacher, even for a few days, warmed my heart. I also took some Arabic lessons from a fantastic teacher named Asma, who made learning fun. A highlight of my trip was visiting the old city of Hebron and the Hirbawi factory, the last place making traditional Palestinian Keffiyeh. Seeing this craft up close was unforgettable.

I was welcomed by a local family, which helped me experience daily life in Hebron. I loved every moment and often wished I could stay longer. The hospitality of the Palestinian people is amazing, especially given the challenges they face every day.

Even with the tensions in the area, I felt safe and welcomed. When you show genuine interest in the culture, the locals are kind and friendly. The history, traditions, and delicious food I enjoyed left a big impression on me.

Hebron can be tense, but I found peace and connection there. If you’re curious about the region and want a meaningful experience, I highly recommend volunteering in Hebron. It deepens your understanding of the culture and creates lasting memories. I can’t wait to return and continue this journey!
