The BANDRA EAST COMMUNITY CENTER (BECC) is a registered NGO that caters to the socio-economic development of the slums and pavement dwellers. Started in 1974, it runs a shelter home, balwadi, senior citizen programme, typing, tailoring, computer classes and conducts health camps for the community. Our volunteers at BECC have launched a BECC Library Project called ‘Quitabon Se Quitabon Tak (QSQT) - From books to books”. Since the English language competency of the children is very poor, the campaign aims at reading with the kids and for the kids.
