Being involved as 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.

Ron,

I must be dense, because I don't follow you at one point and don't see the
problem and another.

their networking opportunities more than most of them do now.

Could you please explain?

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.

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?

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.

(As concerns my own kids, they are 49, 39 and 4, so none of them qualify.
Grandchildren, perhaps, who are in Japan and America. :-))

Regards,

Vlad Lee
