Update Entrepreneur: Gerardo Soliz Location: La Paz, Bolivia Gerardo purchased the sewing machine and now he thinks his business has a chance to be more than a simple workshop. Making hats (specially for children) wasn´t a good business but now with the skin cancer everybody want to take care of the face. Making suits and jackets is not a demanded job since few people on his neighborhood can pay a suit but now she has the machine and the materials he is selling more hats. The loan is 6% re paid.

Gerardo told us his mother has been helping him to find some costumers to get some interest in the jackets he makes. about the suits we can say that he got some sales last month (basically he received a couple of suits from one person who gave the suits to his son and he adjust the size for the boy).
