Adding to basket
Juana is 37 years old and is married to a man who buys and sells cattle. They have two small daughters whom they love very much. Juana has been selling dairy products including cheeses, cream and milk for about 15 years, a business that she learned from one of her godmothers. She spends a lot of time at this and it provides a good income.
Unfortunately, Juana has been ill and needs to undergo a small operation. She regrets that she will have to be out of work for a few days but feels better knowing that she is leaving it in the capable hands of one of her sisters while she recuperates.
In the future Juana sees herself being a wholesaler and totally recuperated from her illness. She hopes to see her daughters become professionals, running their own businesses and being successful in their community.
