[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nicaragua? What was the justification for that? My SIL and some others I know well are from there or have lived there. One said, "hell no! Why do you think so many are trying to get out?" Another "what will they learn from there these days? Who will provide security?"

Does anyone know the vendor or specific program? Would you send your child?

I guess this is a newsflash for you: the views and experiences of people who live in a place can be VASTLY different from the experience of visiting there as a tourist.  Just ask the residents of the Maldives.  But unless you're privvy to a whole world of danger to tourists in today's Nicaragua (and can provide links/sources to this info), you should ask your relatives what dangers exactly lurk there where tourists would go that they think a tour group would need security for.

And if you or your relatives don't know what value/learning students studying Spanish would get from visiting a Spanish-speaking country... how bout you just promise all of us you won't send your kids.  Because obviously there's no value there.  Stick with WIS Spanish summer camp. ;)[/quote]
