Juana is a person who works hard and goes to a lot of effort for her family. She relates that thanks to the [previous] loan, it was possible for her to buy a cuerda [a regionally variable unit of land area] of land that she is now cultivating. With this, her income improved a lot. With the desire to continue increasing her crops and taking better advantage of the opportunities, Juana has considered it possible to take out a new loan to purchase a cuerda of land with a banana planting, since this land is located in a very fertile zone.
Juana's hope in life is to again have a loan and be able to improve the living conditions of her family.
