| Abstract | This article describes an international service-learning project in Bolivia undertaken by faculty and students from Widener University. The authors examine characteristics of the student group, trip preparation, and lessons learned from the experience. The article discusses the American cultural biases that emphasize personal comfort and individual self-fulfillment over acceptance of foreign ways of life, and it highlights the unique learning experience afforded by political turmoil and finding oneself in the role of the "other." The authors conclude that domestic service experience and team building should be less important to preparation than intercultural communication training, language proficiency, and exercises in deep reflection.
