Volunteer In Palestine
“I participated in the Volunteer and Study Arabic program at the Excellence Center, where I taught English, learned Arabic, and explored Palestinian culture by visiting local sites, Palestinian refugee camps, and even attending a wedding.
The Arabic lessons were invaluable, providing me with a strong beginnerโs foundation. The Center offers an ideal learning environment, with supportive staff and leaders. I felt safe in Hebron and enjoyed the warmth of local Palestinians who frequently invited me for coffee and conversation.I highly recommend the Excellence Center in Palestine to anyone interested in volunteering in the West Bank or studying Arabic!” โ Chirag, USA
