About The Program
What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?
We cannot run after students if they are in another country…
Simply sending a ping mail to see if they are alive and if there is a response try to hook up again with them to start work again.
But we'll try to do our best to avoid that situation happens by following the best as possible the students.
