My experience in Manta was amazing with a great group of people who really cared for the people learning at the center. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is thinking about coming just do it. Thankyou again for everything guys.

The best place I've volunteered at so far! Management was great, everyone is very kind, and all of the volunteers were very well taken care of. Anything we needed was handled immediately. The accommodations were beautiful, the area is very safe and there's a lot of beautiful beaches nearby. The work isn't difficult and it was really fun getting to know all the students. This is a great place to immerse yourself in the local culture, and I'd recommend SALC to anyone that wants to visit Manta. 👍

First of all, everyone from the students to the staff are more than welcoming and helpful. The School itself is beautiful, and overall peaceful. When I arrived the normal restaurant we were supposed to have lunch at was closed and the management went above and beyond to fix this issue immediately. It was not a big deal at all but you could tell they cared, they found another near by restaurant with amazing staff that were extremely understanding and courteous with my lack of Spanish speaking skills. If you are like me and still learning Spanish SALC MANTA is a MUST! Muchas Gracias!!!

Our hosts at the school Centre genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay and made us feel welcome from day one. My wife and I had a spacious room with a private bathroom, which made our time there very comfortable. Interacting with the students was the highlight of my experience—getting to know them, hearing their stories, and learning about their lifestyles and their culture made this placement truly memorable.

I had a great time in Manta. The staff were amazing, the managers and teaching staff were so welcoming, friendly and quick to sort anything out for you. The students were so interesting to talk to and I learned so much from them about their lives, their aspirations and Ecuador. I feel so much richer for the experience. The volunteering side is easy, you just need to talk to students one on one. Sometimes it is scripted questions and sometimes it's conversations based on their English level. Manta is what you make of it, it has beaches, gyms a big shopping mall and a heaps of places to eat.
