Yissel


Yissel is the class clown. She's always second guessing Jose in the business course, but she loves sewing and is one of the best seamstresses in the cooperative. One interesting fact about Yissel is that at home she raises roosters for cockfights that are held in the community. She offered to sell us her prize rooster, who can't fight anymore because he has lost one eye. We had to politely decline. (No live animals on airplanes.)

"My goal is to establish my own business, and that way I can give my kids a better life. Nest is helping me by providing our cooperative with a loan so that we can all succeed in the future." -Yissel German
