She then went on to the town of Monteagudo where she lives now to continue her education. She lives with her parents who are supporting her. She qualified at the CEA Institute specialising in textile manufacturing at the technical mid- level. She needs a loan to be able to expand and improve her business, buying machines and raw materials to run her business and to provide working capital. This will allow her to get ahead, by earning her own income and continuing to learn about the textile manufacture trade. She enjoys the trade a great deal; besides it is a very profitable business in the town of Monteagudo.
