SALC represents everything that's right about Ecuador. Eli, Pam, and Diego supported me during a very difficult personal moment, and their kindness made all the difference. The entire team operates with professionalism and heart. The place feels like a 4-star hotel, and everyone is treated with genuine respect and dignity. I also met incredible volunteers and we had a fantastic time together. This has been the second-best volunteering experience of my life, and I recommend it without hesitation. They were flexible with my dates and always willing to help solve anything that came up — thanks!

My experience at SALC was simply incredible. Diego and Eliana were incredible hosts. The institute was incredible. From its cleanliness, to the staff, to learn learning center, everything was 10 stars! I had an incredible time meeting with the students, helping with English, and exploring the beautiful city of Manta. I would absolutely come back to SALC Manta again. I would recommend this opportunity for anyone looking to help teach English!

Wow, amazing team, great facilities, wonderful environment. Eliana and Diego made me feel like family from arrival til departure. The work hours were clearly established and adhered to. The work was easy and fun. The lunches were always delicious. If you speak good English ND want a fun easy educational experience. This is the place to go. Strongly recommend. SALC Manta.

600 characters for a review that does not do any justice for my personal experience at Manta with SALC. Eliana, Diego, and the entire staff are beyond welcoming -- the care and intention that has gone into that facility is a vibration that yields an unmatched frequency. The children, teens, and adults who are there want to learn -- and given the right conversation, they want to connect! I only stayed for just over two weeks, but it felt like three months. Not everyone will have the same experience as I did, but I really hope you do. With an open heart/mind, you will for sure love it in Manta<3

Thank you, Angel, for your kind words. The truth is, everyone here is very sad about your departure. Believe me, you connected so much with the students that they are so eager for your return.
This is your home, always remember that.
Blessings to you.
The mango and guava trees are also waiting for you, hehe.
A hug, Angel.

An incredible experience that I recommend to anyone who is interested in languages and teaching. Eliana and Diego are super friendly hosts that make you feel welcome and at home. Also the staff and other teachers are super friendly and helpful. And it is great to meet and interact with the students. I would definitely go back if i had the chance. I can say that it is one of the best worldpacker experiences I have ever had.
