Elena is an enterprising mother who specializes is making blankets and decorations typical of her region. Elena also operates a radio station with her children, who inspired their parents to undertake this project. It was also because of their children’s studies in systems that they were able to begin broadcasting a program called “Radio Top 40”. The program is heard throughout the town thanks to the agreements they have secured with the town government and cooperative. The station reaches far and wide thanks to Internet and the efforts of the 14 young people who work tirelessly to broadcast, day in and day out, the programs requested by listeners.


Elena and her family would like to establish a television station from which they will be able to report the news in their community and city. The station also will help spread the word about the community’s artisanal products.
