2009 BECA summary

This year the BECA (scholarship) program helped 12 students attain their goals and dreams.

Betuel graduated with honors in November and is now attending the University in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras.

Deldellker graduated and is now working in Roatan, an island off the north coast of Honduras.

Alexis (Alex) graduated and is now teaching in La Ceiba.

Dilcia obtained her teaching certificate, as did Mirian.

Glendy returned to Olancho and plans to continue studying there.

Those that will continue in the program for 2010 are:

Cinthia
Norbertina
Zuly
Jose Osorio
Jose Carlos
Alejandra

Three others were removed from the program. David did not pass his classes, and Maylin decided that she no longer wanted to be a part of the program. Unfortunately, Keidy left town, people say to be with a man. The truth is not known, but she is no longer in Trujillo. The remaining spots will be filled in the coming months.

I will post more information when I have more names and pictures.

Thanks for your interest in the BECA program!

Love in Him,

Help for Honduras!

I know that Haiti is the main story on the news right now. If you're helping there, great! There are many other opportunities to help in other places as well.

Betuel is an amazing person, student, son, citizen, etc. of Trujillo, Colon, Honduras. He graduated from high school with honors in November (their school year is on a different schedule). He is currently in Tegucigalpa, the country's capital, taking classes at the University there. He wants to become a teacher and return to Trujillo to teach in the Christian school there. His mother was widowed in 2007. Since then, she has been taking of care of 5 children by herself. Betuel is the family's hope. If he can get a degree, not only will he better himself and his situation, but he will help his entire family as well. A month of college for Betuel costs $350, including room and board. He will not be able to continue his education without support. I don't go to bat for very many people, but Betuel continues to impress me with his character, communication, values, etc.
