Maria Magdalena's story

Maria Magdalena and her family live in the city of Portoviejo. It is a city rich in the production of vegetables, legumes, and tropical fruits for internal consumption. It has beaches and a variety of tourist spots.

Maria is a great woman. With a good deal of effort she helps her family with the household expenses. She is a commercial engineer and maintains the accounts of a number of private individuals and some business establishments who seek her work and pay her it.

She also sells products from Leonisa catalogs, including women's underwear, shape wear, bathing suits, and men's underwear. She conducts her sales by visiting customers and acquaintances in their homes. She leaves her merchandise on credit, and collects payments every eight days.

Maria is grateful to each person who helps with these loans. They allow her to continue giving the best to her family. This loan is to buy printer ink, bond paper, underwear, shape wear, etc. She will also pay for the internet and electricity.
