8 De Diciembre Group

This committee was formed thanks to the ladies Sinecia Rojas and Fany Lezcano, who were informed about the Foundation and the Enterprising Women Committee Program thanks to another lady friend that already was participating actively in another committee that had been formed in the neighborhood.

The ladies are members of a neighborhood commission of the Neighborhood María Auxiliadora where the Port of San Antonio is located. We can speak of some of the members; in this case Marta Amarilla, who is a single mother of two small children. They live in a humble house set along the Paraguay River in the Port of San Antonio. She rises early in the morning to get the first fresh fish, because in those hours she can select the best. She then cleans and cuts up the fish to subsequently make foods such as scalloped fish or fish soup or for the sale of the raw fish.

The other ladies are dedicated to the sale of fruits, vegetables, foods, cosmetics, or coal and to running pantries or salons.
