RICHMOND—Parents gathered at the Richmond Elementary School this past Thursday to wait for their summer guests, inner-city kids from New York City. Every year, the Fresh Air Fund of Rhode Island organizes a volunteer summer program, through which local parents adopt a child from New York City into their homes for a few weeks during the summer.
“This is an awesome program,” said Kingston resident and volunteer Susan Axelrod.

It appears that answer is a resounding 'no.'
