The Experience

¡Hola! My name is Galo. I'm the principal of a well-known English language institute located in the breathtaking 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.

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.
