Vladimir Zambrano

Vladimir Zambrano is a resident of New York who hails from Manta, Ecuador, and he plays a key role in representing the strong cultural and emotional ties of the migrant community to their hometown. He describes the community of migrants as a 'nutrido grupo' that consistently maintains connections with their families in Manta, often traveling back for holidays and special occasions. Zambrano highlights the importance of the new Copa Airlines flights from Manta to Panama, which have provided a safer and more direct travel option for those returning to visit their families.
