Response from The Excellence Center
Salaam Yannick,
Reading about your positive experience with the Arabic immersion program in Hebron is truly heartening. Your ability to master the Arabic alphabet and engage in conversational Arabic after just 18 hours of one-on-one lessons is nothing short of impressive.
Furthermore, the integration of Arabic classes with volunteering activities, such as teaching English and participating in Human Rights visits, adds a valuable dimension to your experience. These activities not only deepen your understanding of the local culture and community but also provide opportunities for meaningful engagement and contribution. The visits to specific areas, including Hebron, refugee camps, and villages, have offered you a firsthand perspective on the situation in Palestine, making your immersion experience even more impactful.
Your description of forming connections with fellow students/volunteers and enjoying shared experiences, both in Hebron and during weekend travels, underscores the sense of camaraderie and community fostered by the program.
Yannick, we sincerely thank you for sharing your review with us. We wish you all the best and hope to have the pleasure of meeting you in Palestine in the near future.
Warmest greetings from Palestine!
