“I love your ethics, view on global citizenship and set up of the experience. They (students) were able to experience Bolivia through the lens of an educational program rather than through tourism and were able to see projects and actively contribute.” Lindsey Smaka, Program Coordinator at Edina Rotary Global Scholars.
