They're not so safe then...

Are they better than others?

zuzak was invited by Yedda to answer this question.

 

Apparently not.  They seem to be much worse.  Several attorney generals have brought them under fire because of deceptive marketing tactics.  They invite babies who have been deceased for more than a decade and a dead cat under the auspice of being nominated for the honor of being a student ambassador.  Apparently People to People International sold the rights to use the "People to People" name to for-profit Ambassadors Group International for an undisclosed amount of money.  It would appear to me that the IRS would want to investigate PTPI since they are a 501c3 nonprofit and their financials should be public.  Also, several other personal injury lawsuits have been filed against the company(s). 

WWW.TYLERHILL.ORG is working with MN Senate and Congress leaders on laws and public disclosure of deaths, injuries and abductions so the public can make informed decisions on the safety of foreign travel programs.  Until laws are passed, there is no oversight committee to control the practices of student travel programs.
 

how do we pay the payment is it by monthly or we have to pay it rught away when we live

 

Two students have died? Considering they send approx 50,000 students eacgh year over the span of more than 50 years that sounds VERY safe. If two people died in car accidents in 50 years would you think driving isnt safe?

 

JodiLove:  You state they send approximately 50,000 students each year over the span of 50 years?  Where might I confirm this statistic?  Two students have died?  Where might I confirm this statistic?  While you're at it, might you point me in the right direction where we may also learn how many students were starved while studying abroad, molested, sexually assaulted and forced to keep their mouths shut?  You are apparently aware of a reporting agency that natural parents can refer to.  I am interested and await your response.

You might want to ask "Concerned" where the information was obtained that two students have died. My response was based on that posting. It seems if parents fear their child being starved, molested and forced to keep their mouths shut, they should not have them travel outside of their homes. These things happen in our backyards too.
