How to Help BECA students (and not spend a dime)

Did you know that every active BECA student has a blog?

As part of their scholarship each student receives two hours per week of Internet time in a local cybercafe.
 
BECA helps them set up their blog so that they can write about their experiences and share them with their sponsor and with the world at large. Most of them write something two or three times a month.

You can see a directory of the BECA blogs here: www.beca.org/blogs.html.

Now here comes the helping part. MAKE A COMMENT! It's as simple as clicking on the word "Comments" just below each blog entry:

Scribble down a few words, even if it is in English. If you know Spanish, even better. Also, blog comments can be made anonymously, if you wish.

I know, I know . . . the blogs are in Spanish.

Please don't let that stop you!

There is a translate gadget on every student blog page (below). The translation is far from perfect, but more often than not you can get the general idea of what they are trying to say.






You have NO idea how excited the students get when they see that someone out there is actually paying attention.
