[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s odd that people aren’t giving the AP’s something. Does APIA pay them that week? If not, are the girls supposed to be ‘broke’ with no US cash until they get paid the following week?[/quote]

No, the agencies do not pay the APs for the time they are at training school. It's (basically) school.
However, APs should have been made aware (by their agencies), before leaving their home country, that they will need to bring enough money to cover their own expenses for at least two weeks, until they will receive their first stipend. If you wanted to be nice and make sure she has money for her first week with you, you might want to pay her half of her stipend for the first week upfront especially if you get a feeling that she doesn't have enough cash for coffee etc. for the first week. In case there is a cluster meeting scheduled right after their arrival that is not (close to) free please make sure they are able to cover the cost before dropping them off somewhere.
