Giving and Receiving

One of the core values of BECA.org is what we call "social sensibility." Every becado of CURSO UNO (our introductory computer course) makes a commitment to work on a social project in their community. There is a "suggested" minimum commitment of three hours per week, but of course we love it when the becados do more.

Two nice examples. First, Rutt Tellez. Rutt spends a lot of time in her community reaching out and helping. She is a leader of a community group that, among other things, operates a "mobile school."


Second example. Yes, Elvis and alive and doing very well in Masaya, Nicaragua. And BECA.org is happy because when Elvis isn't studying, he volunteers by teaching drawing to high school students. Cool stuff!
