The Experience
¡Hola! My name is Galo. I'm the principal of a well-known English language institute located in the breathtaking heart Andean city of Quito, Ecuador. My goal is to create a cultural exchange environment among our students and volunteers so that both can get to know each other and their cultures. Here in Quito, we have many wonderful tourist sites for travelers to visit and enjoy.

This was a truly rewarding experience. Connecting with the students was incredibly meaningful—not just helping them practice English, but also learning about Ecuadorian culture and hearing about their dreams and aspirations. I enjoyed the variety of tasks, from group and one-on-one conversations to engaging activities and excursions. Quito is a beautiful city with so much to offer, and this experience allowed me to explore it while making real connections. I'd definitely recommend this opportunity. Big thanks to Galo and all the staff for such a great experience!

Dear Jazmine,
Your presence here an invaluable gift to the SALC. You are a great support and a great inspiration for our students, and we're so pleased with your dedication. It has been wonderful for them to learn about your culture, and we truly hope this was a real cultural exchange for you as well.
We are deeply grateful for everything you are doing. When you departure it will be a great loss, but you'll always have a home here with us. You can count on us!
Thank you so much!

My host was very welcoming when I arrived. He and other staff members thanked me for coming, which warmed my heart. He left his assistant to show me around since he was leaving for a trip overseas. Unfortunately, the assistant and the program director, whom I had to report to (Ifound this out the next day), didn't seem to know the details of the agreement made with Worldpackers. The schedule did not include the 2 days off as posted. In my opinion, they were neither ready for nor organized to host the volunteers. In spite of these wrinkles, I enjoyed interacting with the students and teachers.

I only worked for the school for 1 1/2 days because I didn't feel safe in Ecuador due to a political situation. So my impression could haved changed while staying longer. First if all, the conversations with the language students was good. They were all very friendly and interested to practice their english. Now to the things that I think should be improved. The team seemed to be unorganised, for example they didn't know what working hours was agreed on on Worldpackers. Also during the political situation they didn't gave me the feeling/information of/for saftey.
