It has been a truly exciting and rewarding experience\u2014 challenging, but so worth the time and effort. Steph, Camille, Raf and Julian are incredibly supportive and provided me with so much guidance and help anytime I needed it and were so generous with their time. The students at Habibi Center are a joy to teach and their curiosity, ambition and motivation to learn make teaching so much fun. My students were patient with me as I learned, and were as excited to hear about my country and background as I was to hear about theirs. The community the Habibi Center has created is unique, and within hours of arriving I realised I had stumbled across a very special organisation. I can\u2019t recommend this experience more highly to anyone interested in teaching or working with refugees. The Habibi Center is well organised, extremely professional and staffed by genuinely warm, motivated and overall great people. Athens is pretty cool too! Hopefully I can come back some day and have another awesome couple of months. Thank you for everything!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ANNA (AUSTRALIA) Volunteered From FEBRUARY 2024 TO APRIL 2024 This was not just my first time teaching at the Habibi Center, but my first time teaching classes at all!
