Meet Mikita from Italy
“I got to be part of the Human Rights Internship in Palestine, and it was amazing! I spent a week in Hebron where I visited the old town, the AL-Ibrahim Mosque, and a Palestinian refugee camp.
It was even better than I expected. Hebron is safe and full of history. Being here is way better than just reading about Palestine in books. I met people from all over the world and shared cool experiences with them. I totally recommend it!”
