I’m really glad I came to this program. I am Palestinian American so I came here knowing what is going on in here. This is the first I genuinely enjoyed myself in my home country. This summer I got to come here and teach others English. Debates specifically in English. I think that’s very important because as Palestinians, in terms of international politics, we seem to lose a lot of debates against Israelis so we lose our rights very easily because we don’t know how to debate them as well. As Palestinians we should always be ready to debate and ask for our rights. Thanks to Zajel for organizing this and giving me an opportunity to give back.
