Yader with his wife,
daughter, and grandson
|
Yader had a tough childhood because his family was always poor. He
finished his education up to 6th grade, but at age 12 he needed to
start working to help support his family. He first began by cooking with his
mother and selling the food that they made. Since then, he has developed a
lifelong passion for cooking and still works with food today.
As of now,
Yader works as a cook at a local bar/restaurant, however he is trying to start
his own stand selling fast food such as hamburgers, hot dogs and sandwiches. He
doesn’t like relying on others to earn money, which is why he decided he would
like to start his own business. Eventually Yader hopes to open a restaurant
where families can spend time together, as family is very important to him.
Yader and his wife have 3 daughters and 9 grandchildren.
With his Enlace loan of U$200, Yader hopes to buy a caponera to sell his
food, but since he is a recent participant in the program, he has yet to find a
stall to buy. Despite this, he is enthusiastic about putting what he learned in
his training to use, such as bookkeeping and how to better manage his money. In
the future, he hopes to apply for another loan to get his restaurant started,
but he says that depends on how well his first business does.
