Edith is a happy woman who every morning she goes out to sell products from the farm. She doesn't have a stand to make her sales so she set herself up in the entrance of the market of her city. She very gladly offers her products to the patrons. For Edith this work is beautiful because she always makes new friendships and she partakes of hours of company and this makes her work fun, leaving all the problems aside. She dedicates her time eagerly to her work, working to sell corn at the doors of the market. But now she's been thinking she'd like to purchase a stand where she can sell her products and she needs your support to do it. This stand will her her increase her family's income, and for this she is requesting a loan.

EDITH, es una alegre mujer que todas las mañanas sale a vender sus productos agrícolas y por la falta de un puesto para poder vender, se las ingenió para instalarse en la entrada del mercado de su ciudad donde muy alegremente ofrece sus productos a las personas.Para Edith este trabajo es muy hermoso porque siempre comparte con sus amistades horas de compañía y esto hace de su trabajo algo divertido dejando de lado los problemas, dedicándose íntegramente a su trabajo y así la vimos trabajando vendiendo su maíz en la puerta del mercado Pero ahora tiene pensado comprarse un puesto donde vender sus productos y requiere de su apoyo para adquirir este puesto que le ayudaría a aumentar sus ingresos familiares y solicita un préstamo.
