Mission Statement
Have Hammer Will Travel A.C. Teaches Mexican youth (boys and girls) life skills through woodworking and CAD .
Description
Have Hammer...Will Travel is a Mexican charity that teaches valuable life skills to Mexican youth and adults through woodworking and CAD. Located on the shores of Lake Chapala, in Riberas del Pilar, Jalisco, Mexico. Have Hammer exists because of community donations and committed volunteers. The under-served Mexican youths do not have access to quality education or they can't afford it. They have persistent challenges in front of them because public schools only provide the building and the teachers salary: even the poorest students must pay fees for registration, basic classroom supplies, all exams, certificates, uniforms and shoes. Without a well rounded proper life skills, it's almost impossible to seek gainful employment or pursue higher education.
