The BECA Bank Account Saga


If you heard a big scream on the morning of Wednesday, July 1st, it was me. Nope, I wasn't celebrating Canada's 142nd birthday.

After visits to four Nicaraguan banks -- and mucho pleading and cajoling and waiting outside bankers' offices -- BECA finally got its very own authentic Nicaraguan bank account.

Cost to BECA: a year, five BECA t-shirts and $360 (lawyer).

Aside: The t-shirts worked the best. I wish I had thought of that a long time ago.

  3. The Impact display is powerful. Good addition to the informative aspect at first glance.

    Brian's departure blog postings gave the website texture and meaning. It is obvious that what you are doing is making a positive impact in the community and that organization is genuinely seeking nothing else than to contribute.
