a volunteer in anti-human trafficking activities, I have to say this proposal
to exchange/host kids without the official sanction of some organization that
vets everyone on both ends, makes me very nervous. If any of you decide
to do this, please be very very careful.</p>

Ron, <br>
<br>
I must be dense, because I don't follow you at one point and don't see the
problem and another. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br>
> But, of course, this would require Lowlands-L members to take advantage of
their networking opportunities more than most of them do now. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Could you please explain? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">> And there would be international legal issues,
such as those related to contract and safety (to filter out the baddies, not
that we should have too many of those), which you could address better than
most of the rest of us. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If within the network of the LL members who know
each other for years now, and if on invitation (as concerns the visa support),
what's the problem? Esp. as concerns contract? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I though this arrangement would resolve, apart from
teaching, the cost of stay (accomodation and meals). Kids (if we are
talking about kids) must be in their teen at least to travel alone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">(As concerns my own kids, they are 49, 39 and 4, so
none of them qualify. Grandchildren, perhaps, who are in Japan and America. :-)) <br>
<br>
