Delfino is a married man, 48 years old, and has a lovely family with three children. He lives with his wife in the community of Sololá.
Delfino is a very hard-working man since, in order to generate income, he has worked as a municipal traffic police officer for 9 years, contributing with his community to good traffic administration. His work is rather happy but very tiring, since it is a job where one has to be under the strong sun all day. According to Delfino, this work is fairly profitable since, thanks to it, he has managed to support his family. But Delfino is a father who looks for a way to get other income, and for this reason from his house he has built small stalls and has people renting these stalls, but in order for these stalls to be attractive and so the people can have better sales, they need some renovations. But at this time, Delfino doesn't have sufficient money to be able to do it, for which reason he asks for a loan of Q.10000.00 to purchase doors, paint, and flooring.
Deflino's dream is to be able to have this loan to be able to do the renovations and get income from the stalls and support his family.
