"Don't worry so much about the numbers, Walter. Just keep working at what you believe in and the numbers will take of themselves."That's the advice I received a while ago from a friend.
She was probably referring to my penchant to measure BECA's success by counting stuff (whether that be bad stuff (desertions), or good stuff (jobs, life transformations).
My friend recognized that behind my logic lurks this belief that bigger is somehow better.
I wonder if that famous statistician-to-the-poor has something to say about all this?
Interesting times these as I take a deep second look at what BECA is trying to do in Nicaragua -- after spending a little while away.
