I thought she was pretty crazy to pay for it myself. lol I guess I am a bad person. I told her it was way too much money for a 1 week trip and she would have to come up with the money herself. I really thought that would be the end of it, but nope. Took almost all her summer paychecks. Maybe even more than them. I just know she has almost no money left. But she is babysitting now so slowly adding it back up. She really doesn't spend money so she has been Ok.
I found this on their website so really not sure what the cancellation policy is:
Currently there are no Travel Alerts or Warnings in any of our international sites, which are located exclusively in Ecuador, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic. Travel risks to these countries are low and we are continuing with normal travel to these regions. Should conditions change, the Monitoring Team will assess the situation and communicate any trip and/or programming changes immediately.
If you have questions about your medical service trip or Timmy’s cancellation policy, please contact Service Trip Coordinator.
She did say she would get flight vouchers and the rest cash. But she didn't sound sure if it was 100%. Haven't heard anything yet today.
ETA- well what I heard from her today is "OMG We are hosting a Presidential Debate next year!!!!!" lol She is a political junkie. Did not get that from me. She met 4 different high ranking political people last week and was super bummed last night that not only did trip get canceled, but she missed a talk by Condoleezza Rice because of the mandatory meeting about trip. Not sure what was more upsetting to her. lol
