Felicia, the leader of this group, is a needy but optimistic woman. She's the proud mother of 3 children, two of whom attend school. Felicia is currently raising the children on her own as she's separated from her husband. To support her family, Felicia works as a household servant. Unsurprisingly, her low wages don't allow her to bear all the expenses of the family.



To improve her family's living conditions, Felicia plans to start selling perfumes, deodorants, beauty soaps, and so on. She'll be selling in the evening and will be visiting people in the neighborhood to promote her products. She also explains that once she gets considerable profits, she'll buy a small showcase so that she can display and sell some goods out of her house, too.



Felicia hopes this new venture will be successful and will help her change her life and her children's. Felicia is joined in her group by the following women: Ana Julia Paula, who retails fuel in the neighborhood; Teresa Estevez, who sells women's clothing; and Abelita Pie Aguit and Maria Castro Colon.
