This article highlights the theoretical framework of care to describe the relationships nurtured among students and community members who were involved in the International Partnership for Service-Learning Program in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The data for this article derive from participant observation, field notes, semi-structured and informal interviews, and students’ extensive reflective writings collected during the summer of 2001. This article presents the outcomes of the program as they relate to the framework of care. These outcomes are presented in four categories: (1) building connections; (2) sharing feelings toward the cared-for; (3) being a “family”; and (4) responding to the cared-for’s needs. These outcomes generate questions about the challenges of fostering caring relationships among diversely situated groups of individuals engaged in international service-learning experiences.
