Working with the students has been a real honour and a privilege. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn shines through the difficult and challenging situations that they may have recently encountered. It\u2019s been so professionally rewarding to witness the students improve their English language skills in only the few weeks that I\u2019ve been teaching them. The dedication and professionalism of the Habibi organisers and other volunteer teachers has been outstanding. It\u2019s been a life changing experience and an adventure for me too on a personal level. l\u2019ve had an opportunity to experience what it\u2019s like to live in Athens, including its unique cuisine, mountain trekking and even a snowstorm which closed the city for a few days. All in all, I would say that volunteering at Habibi has been a truly humbling, yet remarkable opportunity and a real privilege to develop and support young learners in the next steps of their lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MICHAEL (THE U.K.) Volunteered From JANUARY 2022 TO MARCH 2022 2022 Volunteering at Habibi the past two months has surpassed all of my expectations.
