Virginia Pérez is 46 years old and she dedicates herself to a wide range of economic activities. She is also an active member of the community bank.

Virginia sells tortillas, tamales, artisan work (sombreros) and others. Her main economic activity is her chicken coop, which she has dedicated her most efforts for during the last 10 years. She started with a budget of 300 dollars provided by a government program named ¨Red de Oportunidades¨, with those funds she received, she bought, medicine and food for her chickens. Currenly, she buys 50 chicken per month and breeds them until they are ready to be sold, a cycle that takes about 3 months from the time the chicken are bought until they are put in the market.

This is not the first time Virginia has received a brigade, in 2015, she learned how to keep records of her chicken coop, but she needs to reinforce those concepts as she has forgotten what she has learned. She believes she needs to learn more about book-keeping.
