with its box office monthly boyacá
it is a very beautiful municipality land of
opportunities that we do when
we arrived for the first time to a territory
observe explore I can observe that
in their majority rural sector
dispersed
that to get food there was
walk quite many times to catch
transportation and that they were still very
costly more expensive than they were worth
in the city that the garbage truck
it did not happen that he only left two options
vote or burn
the first three years spent with
much that my husband my three children
minors working on a farm
already when we were waiting for the first
it can be harvested see us out of the
estate
and without payment without remuneration and
I asked when we got here that there was
nothing in how much time we transform it
without knowing how to sow without knowing jobs
the earth without knowing anything about the labor
farm in just three years that’s what
we do well for that are the good
we transform environments
and we can start over again
that tonal source because in those moments
his in the ideas had to do something
dances from my mind the phrases of my
grandmother everything I had observed in
that new territory and experiences
previous
but this time there was one more ingredient
had found a book that was
working at the door of a house and that
negotiated for a stone but it was
any stone
when I read it this book showed how
the money was created to counteract
the growing evolution of barter and that
even in our times we continue
bartering
enter a catharsis where I write I read
I transcribe I think I imagined as very
little I sleep little remember it and if I
I bathed
one of the purposes in that catharsis
was to create a nutritional insurance
that will help us face moments
difficult family calamities that do not
they allowed us to have a
worthy feeding in these moments of
disability in disability house
hospital intensive care
motherhood than when the head of the household
or some member of the family gets sick
we take the point in the food
but that in addition it could be bought with
silver
and that will be charged in food other than
the purposes will be able to create inscribed
food that would allow when
we have to throw in the pot to have
access to rice bread lentils sugar
bean chickpea milk eggs food for
our chickens or for our rabbits
It depends what we are doing
but without interests and also that
we could pay the capital with everything
that we had to also such an account
of savings a savings account that we
let save for those moments of
shortage because we do not have permanent work
because we work for wages and where
there are stationary times where the
food is scarce
how about also more ambitious
that our children could have a
debit card where to save
notebooks books the clothes that no longer
shoe soles are left cardboard
paper glass throws rags and they could
make withdrawals in nutritional products
and that all this was also
Potentialized with a comprehensive offer
of food products supplies
medicines closer more just in the
rancherío on the sidewalk in the vega in the
hamlet
without having to invest time and money
to be able to get food
we open the first store
without silver
I went to tell a neighbor of the town a
peasant all my business model
everything that had structured everything
I had done and he did not understand me
very much
but decided to bet on me with firm and
we open the first store
we open it because I already count them
I tell the situation so bored had not
time or ideal moment we could not
wait let’s hope to see improvements in
things and that’s good
we started to operate and in the operation
we were taking notes perception of
customer per capita production per day
week per month per year waste class
origin of the waste to be able to fill
a database that would allow us
present it to an insurer when
we went to an insurer but when I went
to an insurer was not so easy
but it was not difficult had to continue
looking for me on the web and I found
that there was a multinational
specialized in micro insurance for
vulnerable population with a small
inconvenience was in English
so it is that while downloading change
while attending to the client while
classified waste at night
I learned English with YouTube videos
to be able to tell her that there was an old
in the rural sector I was sure that
with the production that we had with the
waste generation could be
turn into silver in a way that I
had devised and that we could buy a
sure it will guarantee us the
feeding
I started writing an email to something like that
like a woman a man
activity then
now you had to go to the internet is so
easy with you here I told my son
love I heard you five thousand pesos biweekly
You sent mail to this address and
all the time you all know what you want
one day you receive an email to the right in
English I start to translate it the first
first line loses my tray
but great because I said below
it’s interesting who is telling me
explain better fight now learn in
the nights in the morning you were sorry
in my kitchen washing the dishes
and there they send a message
was in the recycling bin is a
recycling treatment plant
when he receives a call from an old
China says that the doctor is coming for the
park of the 93
I do not remember where it came from
and me in the truncheon while I want in
winter he had me he beat me
where it comes from the Chinese I would have
won
I got there in the pancreas 93 center
business
the finance the legal the commercial and
the xerez and I in a chair with 100
they start asking me statistics
so much in the seriousness all production
per capita how many inhabitants that was
doing with the waste how much they were worth
of exeter accepts
in this table without further ado we are going to
develop your insurance
and in perfect Spanish
do not ask the little detail
but that happy day may incredible and without
mention a coffee shop celebrates
there was the insurance the insurance can
buy with garbage and buy the same as
the psoas of motorcycle insurance
lifetime
now the credit wanted to create a
food credit when I had
called a bank manager and told him
I tell the whole cart and all the
numbers and all this the month
Olga does not believe what you are doing to me
saying is totally unreasonable is
leave all context I said good
doctor to change the world you have to
have a certain degree of madness
and if the only thing my people have is
guayabas those guavas heard or
whole have a value we can
use value so that they can
make transactions
the fact is that we already have clear
food
and savings accounts are much more
simple because the platform exists what
what we did was to innovate and now
to be able to enter through that same platform
that is within reach that are platforms
banks can enter the value of
your waste and that you can use them in
the moment they give you the
need at the time you want
recharges to cellular payment of services to
purchase of products
All this
with all this we managed to create a bank
a bank is hope a bank of
possibilities that transforms the way
that we perceive we perceive the garbage that
change behavior around something
that we did not want and that we produce without
make no effort 2,500 individuals
impacted in two years that we operate 1700
tonnes entered with consignment
transformed into income for the purchase
of food 5 municipalities have done
small projects and pilots to be able
adapt the model for expansion to
we can adapt to each of the
territories that are many and that is
if they lose the chulas that if they lose
handles
there they produce a lot more plastic by
the commercialization of chickens in
food for support
because I agreed to stop here
to fall in love
to fall in love with yourselves of
his ideas of that what if that some
it is said
the one who does
if possible, if they believe in you
the first saboteur of dreams we are
ourselves
love is want to be and we create thanks
