BECA February Update

    I received a couple of e-mails last month
    saying that I sounded kind of bitter in the last
    BECA newsletter because more people weren't
    donating.

For the record, I want to state that the rumours of my bitterness are greatly exaggerated.

Here's why.

I'm really happy where BECA is at right now.

You see, I'm totally obsessed with developing a lean and effective program on the ground here in Nicaragua.

And this kind of thing doesn't happen overnight. BECA needs tweaking time. Herein lies the key: BECA is not beholden to any funding body or grant-giving foundation.

Therefore, if tweaking time is what BECA needs, it will get it and if in its natural evolution BECA grows, so be it.
