	"I do feel that the people there will accomplish something for the next generation of Palestinians. Whether it is simply an awareness of their civil and legal rights, the importance of school or the dangers of drugs, in very small but significant ways the environment there is changing. And it has given me some sense of hope to witness this process." Sarah Schilling / Israel ~ 2002

“My experience with GoEco was really great! I had a wonderful time working where I did and Jonathan Gilben was extremely helpful, and patient with any questions I had and making sure my time in Israel was pleasant.” Julie Kozak / Israel ~ 2008

"The workcamp for me was a great experience. It was my first workcamp and my first time overseas. I did not really know what to expect, but found the workcamp to be a wonderful time. The organization did a great job of organizing the camp and more importantly (for me) educating the participants about the conflict in Israel/Palestine, in particular the plight of the Palestinians who live within Israel. It was really an eye-opening experience for me. The arab people embraced the entire camp and treated us with the utmost hospitality. They were always willing to host anyone and discuss the realities of being an Arab in Israel. For me this was a critical part of the trip. I got to hear their stories first hand and experience a little bit of them they were retold. This really gave the conflict a human face." Jimmy Wells / Israel ~ 2005
