ABSTRACT
This chapter has grown out of a conversation between Godwin Agudey and Hannah Deloughery, who have been working in international service learning (ISL) together with Intercordia Canada since 2010. Intercordia Canada is a small, Canadian non-profit that facilitates three-month international experiences between Canadian university students and host communities in eight different countries, including Ghana. This program was founded by Jean Vanier in 2005, and central to the program are the values of being with rather than doing for, that vulnerability is an important site of growth, and that learning is best done in community.
