We are a small school situated in the middle of the refugee camp of Jenin. Jenin is a city in the north of the Westbank, right above Nablus. The school was created in 2010 by one of the residents of the camp. She started with 5 students. Now we have over 80.
We accept children from the most poor families of the camp and teach them English. Since last year we also take care of the very young infants in our kindergarten. In a playful way we teach them English and we educated them to respect one another, despite their gender. Beside all of this, we try to provide them daily with one healthy meal a day.

Our main focus is the development of the child and to give them opportunities to create a better life for themselves and their families. With a good education they will build a better self-image, which will give them the required confidence to reach their full-potention. 
Most of the girls in the camp are destined to get married and to become a housewife. We want to break down these gender stereotypes. With the right encouragement and support they will conquer their fears and achieve their dreams. 

Our mission is to help as many children from the camp as possible to have a proper development and to give them the possibilities to choose their own life. Our goals are that every child has the right to a proper education, despite of their gender nor their background. And that every child has a healthy meal a day at least.

At ALTafawk center we are determined to give the best possible education to the children. Therefore the profile we are looking for:
- native language is English (or as good as)
- available for at least a month (preferably longer)
- some experience in teaching young children
- determined and motivated
- like to discover a new culture

We will give you in return a free stay at our center and you’ll be offered a traditional Palestinian meal a day. Besides this we will give you a unique opportunity to learn more about the Palestinian culture. The hospitality of the local people will make you feel at home. So don’t miss this unique opportunity.
