Driving Ahead

The mission of BECA is to "combat poverty with education." The idea is to give Nicaraguans an opportunity to improve their economic situation via education.

When I talk to "Becados" I often ask them: "Why are taking this course?" (referring to CURSO UNO, the three month computer course)

Often I hear one of the following responses:
1) Quiero seguir adelante.
2) Quiero superarme.

In other words, they want to "keep driving ahead."

It is a noble thing to say, but frankly it won't be good enough if they want to apply for the second, more intensive scholarship.

They need to have a concrete, tangible career plan. In fact the career plan will represent 20% of their evaluation to see if they qualify for BECA Intensiva.

It is truly wonderful that the becados want to "drive ahead."

We want to know how.
