Good luck getting ahold of the co-ordinators. Last time we tried they never got back to us, not even after repeated Emails and phone calls. That was a couple of years ago though...We finally gave up; you may be better off creating your own "Meet the People" by maybe hooking up with a Boardie on here that you can trust- who can set you up to meet a local family. And, it's not hard to meet people on your own, BUT you have to be very, very careful who you trust. Not everyone who would want to be your "friend" is genuine. Let us know how you do- sure would love to hear a report from someone who has actually done the program. Have been on this board since 1998 and have NEVER seen a report from someone who did this. Maybe I just missed it...IRIE! *IG
