I think that -given the choice- most teachers would rather see that money allow more of their students to participate in a tremendous educational and life experience. Most, but not all. I've recently started my own company in Canada. As a small outfit, I can't compete with the incentives of the major players. My aim is to put those resources toward helping the groups travel: a seperate charitable fund, donate prizes for an on-line raffle and innovative programs to allow groups to get significant discounts on their travel. Time will tell if this is approach will be well received. Thanks! DT Posts on this thread, including this one NETC or ACIS, 5/15/08, by Alison. Re: NETC or ACIS, 5/15/08, by Papa Gio.
