When you talk to Doralba, she conveys joy and the love of life. She is a vibrant and enterprising woman with clear ideas and goals for her life and for her six children.
She has worked most of her life in the food business, taking care of her children and maintaining her home.
Right now, she is planning to start her own business making and selling fast food such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, kebabs, and stuffed arepas. She thinks she will prepare and sell at home so that she can earn some extra income.
So, she has applied for a loan to buy a working table and a fryer. She will also buy ingredients for her preparations.
This will give her a stable income and she may employ some of her children. It will be a family business.
Her dream is to have a great place where she can offer various types of food and beverages to the public.
