Why should we go prancing around the world as saviors if we can't even help the people in our own country?... 47364@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 12 Dec 2008 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_2609.html#45404 Harvard sure gets mad when you complain about their federally funded programs. It's not like other universities weren't allowed equal access. The money is not enough. $2,500 for three months overseas? The costs of just being part of the program will eat that. Conflict resolution? Will the fellows be in war zones? Will they be in countries that have US/UN sanctions? Will they be in countries where there is a military dictator and a coup? Where is the insurance? Where is the health care? The costs are at least $10,000 for 180 days. Congress should allocate real money to have this program. It's a waste of time at these prices and there is no real plan for the fellows overseas. Congress needs to establish the conflict, safety and health program. The program is just some cash to go overseas and not survive.... 45404@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 22 Oct 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_SN_2609.html?rev=31825 <p>S. 2609 would establish a Global Service Fellowship Program.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>Global Service Fellowship Program Act of 2008 - Directs the Secretary of State to establish and administer a Global Service Fellowship Program to fund fellowships to promote international volunteering opportunities as a means of building bridges across cultures, addressing critical human needs, and promoting mutual understanding.</p> <p>Sets forth Program provisions.</p> <p>Authorizes appropriations.</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc1"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 9/23/2008: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders.
