[quote=Anonymous]DC wants to participate in the SSIMS immersion program this year but given the location is Colombia, I have reservations. We initially signed up, but I’m getting cold feet and the school has not been forthcoming - or maybe they just don’t know - about things like security protocols and specifics about how kids will be transported and what kinds of protections are in place to ensure safety. We’ve been assured that the families the kids stay with are wealthy and often have security guards / systems for their homes. I’m more concerned about terrorism and kidnapping, which from what I read can be indiscriminate (not usually, but sometimes) and affects “civilians” vs just those in the drug trade. Any parents of grads from SSIMS SI who went on this trip? What did you think and how did your child like the experience? Did you have any safety concerns and if so, how were these addressed? [/quote]
