Her goal this year is to officially get the operating permit to open a “salon” her salon’s name will be PAHO-PAHO. In the meantime, friends, family and neighbors call her for her services, haircuts, Manis and Pedis. Paloa has big visions for her future, she would like to someday own and run a salon in the capital city. She would feel very proud if her story can serve as an inspiration for other girls. We are excited to watch Paola’s progress with her beauty salon.

- February 2010 - Gina and Lori visited Paola in her newly established salon in the garage of her family home. When they arrived she was servicing a regular client with a manicure.
