Description:
Luz Dary is a 33-year-old woman, mother of 3 children and a tireless worker. She is a fighting Afro-Colombian woman, a dedicated mother, despite the losses and sufferings she has experienced in her life, however, memories are only part of the past. that does not limit it, on the contrary, it strengthens it.
Her business is her economic support, she works in the company of her daughter who helps her all the time and who, in addition to school, learns about the business every day and is by her side every day. She is a receptive, kind, affectionate, calm and above all persistent woman. Her future is promising and tomorrow for this woman will be better than everything she has lived, because her life and that of her children are the engine to start a new life where she will find other opportunities and other support that will help her improve.
I come from López de Micay, when I was displaced by the illegal groups, I had to run to Buenaventura where they attacked my husband, I arrived in Cali with my children and an injured man. It has been very hard, because I lost my husband and from there I had to keep my home alone and fight to raise my children who were very young at that time. I arrived in Cali 7 years ago and although it has been hard I will never forget that here I have the peace that I did not have when they came and finished with everything.
Dreams, expectations and everything I had built fell apart, but now I know I can, I am stronger and I have more responsibilities, I don't know much but I learn every day.
I remember everything was beautiful and after the suffering that he lives I know that it is possible to start over, it is good to know that although it is not the same one has to get ahead where God puts him.
I live with my children, my husband is no longer with us but I have struggled to keep the family together, I remember that when I arrived in Cali I had to go from house to house and I started an invasion in Floralia and then they told me about Jarillon and there I went to work with my children and from there they relocated us to Potrero. I started from scratch in Cali and have been progressing little by little. Although things have not been easy, I always have to think that for me and my children I have to get up every day, although it is also difficult in the neighborhood where we were relocated, violence worries one, that is why my business is outside And I like my children to learn and see other things so they don't have to experience any of that.
I thank the OIM, FOMIPYME and COMFENALCO, for being able to improve my business, I have had it for a while because in the invasion and later in Potrero I could see that it was good to sell arepas and with the project I was able to improve and have to place my business selling fast food, people know me here in Calimio with the arepas and in Potrero with the food business because I help a friend by hiring her to help me in that business and with that she also works and helps her family also and then sometimes we are 2 and even 3 helping with the 2 businesses, I like to support how you and the people who received me in Cali supported me and even the man who does not charge me anything for doing things outside the supermarket in he.
