Dear Colleagues, since I became a ProZ, I met people from all over the world. Now I have a question for any colleague living in (Northern) Scotland. The youngest of my 3 adoptive children (15) is going to Aberdeen in July, to attend an English course. His elder brother, who now recovers from a motorcycle accident and is himself a sensible but naive boy, a bit younger than his age (17), wants now to go himself to Scotland "in order to work and to improve his English". ...

Dear Colleagues, since I became a ProZ, I met people from all over the world. Now I have a question for any colleague living in (Northern) Scotland. The youngest of my 3 adoptive children (15) is going to Aberdeen in July, to attend an English course. His elder brother, who now recovers from a motorcycle accident and is himself a sensible but naive boy, a bit younger than his age (17), wants now to go himself to Scotland "in order to work and to improve his English". Here's the question: does anybody up there know a SERIOUS INSTITUTION (church or ecological or boy-scout or similar) where he can live, help a little bit and socialize with young people? He doesn't need to make money, of course, only spend some weeks in a "protected" environment amidst nice young people in the lonely, imposing nature of Northern Scotland.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or concrete help! Best greetings from the Thyrrenic sea smarinella ▲ Collapse

Dear smarinella, I can understand your concerns, but I also think it's a good idea to let your son travel a bit, especially since he's come up with this idea on his own initiative. The following are well-known and reputable organisations working on a voluntary basis - I haven't been in contact with them personally, but have a look at their websites and see what you think.
