There is a center in the villa Tejada area that goes by the same name. It pertains to the San Gabriel Association, a charming group comprised of fourteen women who have been working in an organized manner for a long time. The members of the association partake in different business activities. One of them has a guesthouse in which she offers lunch everyday, other members sell watches and other accessories, while still other members sell aprons, clothing and other goods. Because of the holiday season, they want to sell Christmas ornaments, lights, and other products that are easily sold this season. They need more capital to purchase merchandise so that they can expand their businesses and increase their profits.

Translated from Spanish by Elizabeth Casian, Kiva Volunteer
