Alba Lorena and her family live in the Montecristi neighborhood. Locals are known for their handicrafts made of toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua, and wood; they produce fine toquilla straw hats, recognized worldwide as "Panama Hats."
Alba Lorena is an example of a hardworking woman who runs a grocery store at home, where she sells a variety of products for preparing daily meals. She works every day serving her customers. She also sells a variety of clothing for women, men, and children. She takes these items to her family, friends, and neighbors, giving them credit and getting paid weekly, which is how she makes her sales. She is deeply grateful for the help and the way they are always willing to support her, so she can always give the best to her family.
