Sra. Margarita is the group president and a very responsible leader. She is married and has two children. She makes pastries, while her husband works as a chauffeur.


Sra. Ruth is the group treasurer and is very responsible and knowledgeable in handling cash. She is married and has two children. She is a seamstress and will use her loan to increase her business capital.


Sr. Ronal is the group secretary. He is single and has no children. He imports novelty products from Peru. His loan will be used as business capital.
