Felt like family at the Excellence Center

Volunteering at the Excellence Center in Hebron for 10 days has been an unforgettable experience. I had the joy of helping amazing kids improve their English and spending meaningful time with them, which was both rewarding and inspiring. Meeting the other volunteers and sharing trips together gave me the chance to learn more about the rich Palestinian culture, its delicious food, and the warm, resilient people who make this place so special.

A huge thank you to teachers Jumana and Duha for their patience and skill in teaching me Arabic – I learned so much and truly appreciated their support. Qatada and Mohammed were incredibly helpful in showing me around and making sure I felt at home. Osama, Marwa, and the rest of the staff welcomed me like family, and made my time in Palestine truly amazing.

I can’t wait to return and spend even more time at the Center, inshallah!
