Yes, I have for the past couple of Summers. I found it very rewarding and keep in contact with the children. There is a good support network with organised outings and meet-ups.

Have you any particular questions?

I had them for the first time last summer. The only support I got was from HQ in Cork, 2 phone calls. I had to ring them to find out when to return the children to the airport. Do you not get told this when receiving the children? No outings or meet-ups but that was fine by me as my own three were still in school and I wanted to be around for them. I sent Christmas and birthday cards but none were acknowledged - don't know whether that reflects on me or not!!! Other than that we all enjoyed having them and look forward to their arrival again this summer.
