ERDT/SHARE! High School Exchange

Hi! My story with this sponsor program, and the RD, Yvette Coffman, it is a nightmare. The local coordinateur and the RD, Sharon George and Yvette Coffman, forced my daughter, hwo was an exchange student from France to leave her host family in 3 hours, without announcing someone (CEI France, french organisation, mine or the host family) and they did that by using the police force (they called the police and threated my daughter that if she refesud she will be put her in jail). After all thesse, they refussed to discuss with me because it is forbitte, after them, to contact them! Also, is you go on the CSFES.org you can see that they already have a justice problem with one of their exchange students for sexual agression (the trial just started in 2021). My daughter never received an ID Cart from this organisation (obligatory); the LC told us that my daughter was sent home because she was speacking to much with me on the phone (it is against the legislation to ban/prohibit that).E

My experience working with the Georgia chapter was horrible. The organization did not provide any support in the beginning of the process for enrolling the student in school. During the program, I was yelled at by the Share person for having contact with the child's parents. I wanted to ask the parents if they were OK with the child taking Uber by herself because she wanted to. End of the program was worse. The student and our family were not a good fit, and the organization moved the student to a different home. Which is perfectly fine, as I whole heartedly wanted what was best for the student; but the way Share handled this was HORRIBLE and unprofessional. I was not told of any plans to move the student. All I got was a phone call at work from the Share worker sitting in my driveway with the student and her luggage informing me that the child was moving. Instead of being thankful for my help, I was made to feel like a criminal. It was very sad and upsetting.
