i will be there today Tuesday Dec 11 and on Tuesday Dec 18, 2018  at Maria Isabel Restaurant between 12 noon and 1 PM. i assist in purchase and explanation of any of the watercolor paintings for sale

We are one of few charities that follow and pay all the government licenses, paper work that are filed on time,  fees for employees. IMSS, pension etc.

The purchase of a painting will help pay towards the aguinaldo ( Christmas pay) and vacation pay that Board of directors of Have Hammers has pay Lalo and his assistant at the end of the year.

 

Any donations will also help, you can donate on line at our website https://havehammer.com/

 or directly to donations page https://havehammer.com/donations/ and  click click donate online  and it will take to the 501C3

website Foundation for Lake Chapala Charities, file in your information at bottom of page check  Have Hammer Will travel.

you will be emailed 501c3 TAx receipt that you can use to deduct from your taxes in the United states.

When money  gets processed by  FLCC volunteers and deposited in the Have Hammer Bancomer account here at lakeside in a few days.

The  legal benefits and government taxes you have to pay in mexico our employees is about 37% of their salary.

We have to do a lot of fundraising to pay that large amount.

Thank you for your donation.  Your donation allows to have extra money to buy wood for the kids to make their projects in 2019.

Thank you Ken Gosh again for being their for the kids

Received final numbers for accountant total aguinaldo and vacation pay  $17842.  with peso at 20.20  its about  $883 dollars US.

 

Woodworking in The United states was a right of passage in school, i had a shop class at age 13.

The boys and girls here do not have that opportunity to learn life skills and basic tool skills, unless we at Have Hammer Will travel A/C. provide it for them.

The old analogy

Rather then give them fish , we teach them to fish.         We provide them a safe controlled place to learn woodworking and tool skills

Any donation allow us to not use reserve funds, and save those funds to buy wood for the kids in 2019.

Giving while living is the motto of all the volunteers at Have Hammers Will Travel. A.C.

Please  go to our website and  Give while living   www.havehammer.com    go donate page check havehammerwiltravel

 

Happy Holidays

From all the volunteers at 

Thank you all for changing the kids future

Every $50 helps this season

 

The manual skills that the kids learn, they could use and enjoy throughout their lives, whether they became a carpenter or a doctor. Shop class was once a right of passage and considered part of becoming a well-rounded man – one able to use both his hands and his mind.
