student ambassador programs; extremely OT

[dradamsapple]

Please excuse the OT ness of this post, but I'm wondering 
if any of you have heard of this program.

My 13 year old son got a letter today from an organization called 
PEOPLE TO PEOPLE-STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS.  It praises itself 
for "Celebrating Five Decades of International Exchange".
He is invited to spend 22 days traveling and studying in 
England,France, Italy and Greece.  Apparently, this program was 
founded by President Eisenhower.

I tend to have a little of the old Yankee thought that if it seems
to good to be true, it probably is.  I mean, yes my son has been an 
honor student in his first year of middle school, but not High honors.
Could this possibly be some sort of scam??

There will be an informational meeting for the parents in late 
October, so I figured I would try to get a feel for things before 
that.  

If anyone can give me some advice, hints, information, I would 
appreciate it.  Please email me off list.

Thanks in advance!

JKR!!)
