Doña Verónica, yet another daughter of Anastacia and Edmundo's, is the current storekeeper.

Unlike most indigenous peoples in Bolivia, the Guaraní typically have no interest in commerce. As a general rule, a Quechua-speaking or Aymará woman who can acquire any capital at all will open a store, and will somehow make it work - if not as a money-making venture, then at least as a savings mechanism. When the Guaraní communities in Ingre were first established, the CCCh and the Peace Corps provided seed capital for community-owned stores, plus initial training and a lot of follow-up. They all failed --some spectacularly, many more than once-- except Imi's. we like to attribute our success to the intelligence and perspicacity of our tenderas: first Doña Justina (who you will meet), then Cristina, and now Verónica.
