“I am Alicia, I am 29 years old and I am from Switzerland. I came to Hebron to volunteer with Palestinian Refugees in Al Fawar camp for one week. My first Impression of Hebron was very positive, the people go out of their ways to help you. 

For one week I was staying with a host family in the city center in Hebron, they welcomed me with a warm heart and many questions. Every morning I went to the excellence center to have a traditional Palestinian breakfast. In the center I had Arabic classes with a teacher, she thought me daily conversations  in Arabic, that were very useful. In the camp I was giving english lessons to the children, what amazed me was the high motivation from the children. 

My experience with the excellence center was very nice, everything was organized, the people were very welcoming and always happy to answer any open questions. I made new friends and also gained more knowledge about the situation in Palestine. My experience in Hebron was very educational and beautiful. I encourage everyone to come and see, feel the beauty of Palestine.”
