Celedonio, 30, is a very hard-working and happy man. He lives in his own house, and what he wants most of all is to be successful in life. Celedonio’s work days begin very early in the morning when he leaves with his “motocarro” (three wheeled motorized vehicle) to look for passengers to transport. He is very attentive with his customers, and he always takes care of them. He wants to give them very good service so that when they see him again they will take his “motocarro”.

What he likes best about his work is driving the streets of Juliaca. He finds it very entertaining. He has been doing this for five years. The most difficult part is having to work the late hours at night. In time, he hopes to be able to get together enough money to buy a new “motocarro”.

This is Celedenio’s fifth loan with MFP. He feels responsible about paying it back on time. He does not want to cause problems for the members of his communal bank where he is very dear to the other members. He will use the 1,000 PEN that he is asking for to buy tires for his “motocarro”. The ones he has now are worn out from the hard work.

Celedonio tiene 30 años, es un hombre muy trabajador y alegre, vive en su propia casa y lo que más desea es sobre salir en la vida. Para Celedonio los días de trabajo comienzan muy temprano por la mañana, cuando junto a su motocarro sale en busca de pasajeros para transportar, él es muy atento con sus pasajeros y siempre está pendiente de ellos, ya que desea darles muy buen servicio, para cuando lo vean de nuevo tomen otra vez su motocarro.
Lo que más le gusta de su trabajo es manejar por la calles de Juliaca, ya que se distrae mucho haciéndolo, lleva 5 años realizando esta actividad y considera que lo más difícil es tener que trabajar hasta altas horas de la noche. Con el tiempo, espera poder juntar el dinero necesario para comprar un nuevo motocarro.

Este es el 5to préstamo de Celedonio con MFP y se siente en la responsabilidad de pagarlo a tiempo, ya que no desea causarle problemas a las socias de su banco comunal, donde es muy querido por el resto de socias. Con los mil soles solicitados comprará nuevas llantas para su motocarro, ya que las que tiene actualmente están gastadas por el arduo trabajo.
