This experience was enriching for us because we could apply our knowledge of the English and Spanish languages in class, as well as community care and social work. We participated in many community events, during which we learned a lot about the area and the people. We met great people during our time doing the work exchange, including Oswaldo and Marcela. They are a great host team and were extremely helpful and accommodating. They gave us an experience well beyond the bare minimum that shaped our view of what Ecuador has to offer.

Upon our arrival to Ecuador, we were welcomed by one of Oswaldo's other volunteers, Miguel, with whom we would have many great experiences with. Oswaldo was very welcoming and was a great host that took all of our accommodations into account to ensure our comfort and to make sure our experience was the best it could be. He went above and beyond with many things and we enjoyed our experience here very much. We learned a lot about the environment around Santa Marianita and got to fully immerse ourselves in the culture. At the school, the experience was very rewarding where we were able to teach

I really enjoyed my stay at the hostel. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Oswaldo really made sure we were having a good time and felt comfortable. The place is also really great and the beach is very close by so it's a very relaxing environment :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had the most wonderful time volunteering here. The team became my second family and the hostel really felt like a home away from home. Oswaldo makes sure that the volunteers are having fun and enjoying themselves. I was supposed to stay for 2 weeks and I ended up staying for nearly a month. I was so sad to leave and I would have stayed even longer if I could have. I have made some amazing memories in Santa Marianita as well as some friends for life. I will be back!! Muchísimooo gracias Oswaldo y Jery for making me feel so welcome ❤️❤️❤️

I had an incredible stay at the hostel, Oswaldo is an incredible guy. I really felt at home during my stay. It was an excellent opportunity to practice my Spanish. With the guests and other workers. It's a two minute walk to a very nice beach. I highly recommend staying at the hostel I would have stayed longer if I could. I hope to come back someday soon!!

Ohh it was great! The owner Oswaldo and his Son Salvatore are just lovely and make you feel like home. I felt welcome the moment i put feet in the place. If you want to volunteer somewhere with a good vibe, friendly environment, cozy, near the beach and just relax on a hamac on your free time, this is the right place. I recommend it 100%. I even didnt want to leave haha i would have stayed much longer if i could have!

I truly enjoyed my time at the hostel and even after a few days it became a home away from home. Oswaldo and the other volunteer staff were incredibly welcoming and the duties/benefits were just as described. This was a perfect opportunity to disconnect, enjoy a small beach town, practice Spanish, and immerse in the local culture! I'd do it all over again.

It was a pleasure to stay at the hostel for a week, it is a great place to enjoy a relaxing time in front of the ocean, in a small town next to Manta. Oswaldo was really welcoming, and I also had the chance to meet another volunteer there. Although my Spanish wasn't perfect at all, I could manage to do the work there, and that was just a few hours per day so everything was really fine! Thank you!!
