A visit to our only High School in Santiago this past Spring by
members of the East Cape Guild
Scholarship Fund and their guests was truly an eye opening
experience. The visitors learned so
much about the school and its programs. The program that stood out
to many of us was the
"Tourism" programs which train the interested students for jobs in
the tourist industries such
as chefs, waiters, bartenders, maids and travel guides. These
programs are very popular and
do receive some hands on training from a hotel in Cabo. However the
program requires the
students to actually make meals, serve meals, make drinks, give
tours, etc. at the school.
To do this they need supplies. The chefs for instance must buy their
own ingredients for
meal preparations; the tour guides make brochures and posters.
The lovely principle Raquel Rivas and her staff shared their ideas
of items the school needs.
Following is a list of items for the "tourism programs" that we hope
you can donate. If you can
help with an item please let me know. At a later date I will add
items that are needed in other areas.
David and Charlene at the Los Barriles information Center in the
center of town have offered to be a
drop off point.
Used items are great! Hit those garage sales or clean out your
clutter!
Just about anything for a kitchen is needed. Items can be used in
the tourism training kitchen or in
the very humble Breakfast and Lunch "cafeteria" ;which by the way is
the only one in Baja.
However, think shack, not even resembling a US cafeteria.
Pots and Pans.. (we throw out ones in their condition)
Colored Paper
Silverware and utensils
Printing Paper
Brochure Quality Paper
Colored Paper
Serving dishes
Food Processors
Knives
Blender
Spanish language cookbooks
Kitchen towels
Napkins
Items related to bar service, including basic liquors and mixers.
English Dictionaries with at least 500 pages and full size are still
needed for the English Classes.
If you can tuck in any of these items into your suitcase or car on
the trip down the students
and staff will be delighted. If everyone in our large East Cape
community tucked in even one used
or new item, the list would be complete and the education of our
East Cape students would be less
challenging for them.
Thank you for your help, for more information I can be contacted at

I have just received this from nfranco at banjercito.com
regarding taking a car to the mainland and returning to Baja:
"The procedure is very easy. Next time when you take the ferry (to
the mainland) apply for a Temporary Import Permit for your vehicle.
For this process you need only your US Passport and the vehicle
registration or title. The Temporary Import Permit for your vehicle
is valid as long as your FM3-Rentista Visa. When you receive a FM3
extension, your vehicle permit has automatically the same extension.
This means you don't have to cancel the vehicle permit and you pay
only once for the permit. The only additional action you have to
take upon FM3 extension is to send a copy of your vehicle permit and
a copy of your FM3 to the next SAT office or to Mexican Customs
Authorities and inform them about your Visa extension.
We hope this information is useful for you. If you have further
questions please don't hesitate to contact us again.
With best regards, Gerd"

I agree about using Telmex for internet. (BPE post #626) I think
maybe the people using At&t are not residents or don't have a phone
line available. (Very common, no?) I've been here through all the
iterations of internet with Telmex and they're to the point now
where the DSL generally works, the speed is good enough for most
peoples' needs and if you want to pay more, you can have way high
speed. Telmex also offers the cel phone internet option but I've
never used it. It's common technology now though, should work. Bob

to the new computer guy Sebastian and was very pleased with the
courteous service I received. He went to La Paz to purchase the new
hard drive and had my computer up and running pronto. I would highly
recommend him to all. And he speaks the English. They also rent
power tools so check them out. Ila
