By Leah, Australia:
I decided to travel to Palestine to become involved with community activities and learn about Palestinian culture firsthand. It was an overwhelming experience to witness the struggle and beauty of the Palestinian people. Despite the occupation, these people continue to stand strong in their spirit and heart. We visited many people who shared their story and how they continue to overcome the many obstacles that most people take for granted. Articulating this experience is extremely difficult. The Palestinian experience is an experience you will never forget. My life has been forever changed and I hope one day to return.
Study in Palestine provided me with a safe environment, advice, laughter and joy of which I will neve forget. I encourage anyone thinking of coming to Palestine to visit the Study in Palestine, where you will be welcomed like family. I have made many friends in Palestine, local and abroad who will remain in my heart forever.
Thank you to Study in Palestine for all your hard work and generosity, and for allowing me to experience Palestine in all its beauty. May god bless us all.
If you did this all over again, what’s one thing you would change?
I would not change a thing
