[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son went year before last (the last year they did it, because they only go every two years).  He had a wonderful time.  I also had reservations about their safety, and SSIMS also didn't seem very organized leading up to the trip, but they were very organized on the trip and there were no safety problems.  The kids at the school in Colombia are wealthy and live in very safe areas.  And they were wonderful, wonderful hosts.  We also enjoyed hosting the Colombians here in the fall.  Really was just a fantastic, memorable experience all the way around.  I wouldn't let your worries stop your child from doing the exchange.[/quote]

+1. My DD went the year before last and I felt like you- SSIMS, as per usual, was disorganized and unimpressive in the planning stages, but once there the wonderful secretary (whose name I’m now forgetting) ran a tight ship and there were no worries. Wealthy families in high rises with security. It was a good experience and I’d do it again. [/quote]
