Alicia is 40 years old and lives with her husband and two children, Christian an dJuan Carlos. She makes and sells artisan pieces such as small reed rafts, jewelry, necklaces, mobiles, etc. She sells these items to the tourists that visit her island. Alicia happily receives her tourists with great hospitality and shows them her island, dressing them with the typical clothing of the area and sharing her culture with them. She likes to share and interact with the tourists, whom she sees as friends coming for a visit. This is her first loan with Microfinancas Prisma. With the money she will buy more materials to make her artisan pieces and give them a better finish and detail, making them more attractive to the tourists.
