Volunteering with the Excellence Center in Hebron

I had a fabulous time during my 4+ weeks at the Center. The staff was as friendly and supportive as one could wish. My teacher was wonderful, and I learned more Arabic than I would have imagined possible in such a short period of time. I also had ample teaching opportunities: at the Center itself, at a refugee camp, and at Hebron University. I found Hebron to be a very welcoming city, but I also developed a fuller understanding of the serious challenges the Palestinian people face in the cities and the countryside. My weeks at the Center were among the most satisfying and meaningful in my life.
