Manos Telarañas Group

Mrs. Silvana Cruz Reaño de Canchucaja is 52 years old and married with two children, both of whom are in college. Silvana makes knitted outfits, as do the six other members of the Manos Telarañas ("Spiderweb Hands") Group.

Four years ago, she got started in sales at a commercial center, which wasn't very profitable, so she decided to set up a space in her home where she could sew her own clothing. She started out sewing, but found that there were slow seasons, primarily in winter, so she decided to take advantage of that season to make hand-knit clothing. She enjoys traveling, and her work has allowed her to get to know different parts of the country. Her dream is to open her own boutique.

The requested loan will be used to buy merchandise for the Christmas season. She will buy more material to work with, like yarn to knit t-shirts and bolero tops for the summer season, and buttons to start knitting items for the Christmas season.

Le gusta mucho viajar y su trabajo le ha permitido conocer algunos lugares del país. Su sueño es tener una boutique propia.
El prestamo solicitado lo invertirá en la compra de mercadería para la campaña navideña. Va a comprar sus materiales de trabajo, es decir hilos para preparar boleros y politos para la estación de verano, botones y así preparar un stock de prendas para iniciar su campaña navideña.
