Blanca lives in the community of María Magdalena. She is known for being friendly, supportive, and joyful. She lives with her children and her small grandchildren in a humble home. She has worked many types of jobs so she could offer her children an education so they would have a good future. Now that she has finished educating her children, she makes a living raising pigs. This work has allowed her to generate the necessary income to support her costs and help her children. She has the opportunity to raise other animals in a space she is renting, so she is applying for a loan to purchase pigs, vitamins, feed, potatoes, and other agricultural supplies. She is hoping that through this, she will obtain a better income.
