Raisa María Heredia Pérez

Raisa is about to reach one of her great dreams: to contribute to the entertainment of the young people of her sector. She always has felt pain for the boys of Haina; she sees them without any activity to enjoy themselves. For more than two years she has been saving money to open a video game center. She has already acquired a TV, 2 computers, many CD games, joysticks and a Super Nintendo. Currently, she is selling clothes, shoes, and cosmetics products. She makes a weekly profit of $130 USD. Raisa is requesting a loan to transform a room of her house into the gaming room or amusement arcade. She has already made contact with some technicians responsible for laying out the space so as to install the computers, TV and other materials in a handy way so that the customers can play easily.

Raisa thinks that this activity will have a very positive impact on the young people. It will help to elevate their self-esteem, since they will be more self-confident when they win a game or when in a competition with other friends, they can do their best to obtain victory.
