| Have Hammers Will Travel |
In Ajijic if "TENGO MARTILLOS…" "CAN I TRAVEL". Betorock is a spacious place, ventilated roof and walls four, meters high covered by carpet in order to create an isolation of the noise generated by the tools that work.

It is a "tallersote" carpentry, at least that is what it seems. It is the project "Tengo martillos…puedo travel" or Have hammers… will travel.
But do not get confused, explains the director of the project, Mario Monreal, (sic) "the project is to teach the basics to youth in the community as an incentive to keep them away from bad attitudes and activities which could end in crime and in the same way that these craft can make small repairs at home, or build small objects of utility or why not, be used in one of many good workshops by this community".
The project is to teach plumbing, electricity, carpentry, welding or blacksmithing, masonry and up to be azulejeros.
We begin with carpentry because this profession requires the use of a lot of tools, and familiarizes yourself with these other similar instruments, so other occupations will be easier.
At the moment there are twenty-five students, with an average age of 17 years.
The aim is not to make carpenters says Director Monreal,some students want to be engineers, graduates and professionals.
The project was born in 2007 on the initiative of Mr Richard Williams at Mission San Pablo hostel located in the municipality of Ixtlahuacán, Cedros; in 2008 continued to work in "Hope House", "Casa home Mi Esperanza", which joins them Mario Monreal; in 2009 were working in Ajijic Lake Chapala Society. Currently at the home of Ocampo 49 - A in Ajijic, Juárez and Aquiles Serdán.
Another job offer is the occasional use of the machinery for free, i.e. If some Carpenter does not have a certain type of tool and attends "Tengo Martillos…" they can use the machinery.
Similarly if someone has come to visit this region and wants to make small or major repairs at home but does not have this tool skill, you can get a membership to use the workshop permanently with rates ranging from $4 990 pesos per year, or by months or weeks at affordable prices.
So if you are curious and want to know more of the place, if you're young and you want to learn there is no charge. You can make coat racks, drawers or up to desktops in an agile and fun way, and especially in an environment friendly respectful and fun in all workshops (I don't know if with included albures).
(N.R.)Another factor to be added is that is attended by director Monreal and by President Williams and if applied, you can practice English for free.
