Jose, 62, is an elderly man who lives with his wife and surrounded by his children and grandchildren who live in nearby house in the community of San Luis. In his youth he learned from his parents about agriculture which he currently is engaged in and teaches to his children and grandchildren so he can leave the fruit of his years of hard work in good hands.
Jose wants to continue increasing his herd and is therefore applying for a new loan to buy a cow, balanced feed, a silo, vitamins, salt, molasses and other supplies which he hopes will generate more income for his family.
