Johanna Lorena's story

The local people make clay handicrafts, especially pre-Hispanic figurines and other products that are exported to many countries around the world. Many vendors also set up roadside stands to sell their products.

Johanna Lorena and her family own an oil change and lube shop where they work Monday through Saturday. They sell motor oil and perform oil changes for cars, motorcycles, and other transport vehicles.
