Promoting Jalisco and our beautiful Chapala

TV Azteca, founded in 1993 is the second TV Company in Mexico behind Televisa. This company features Soap Operas, News, Sports, and Music and Entertaining. During the past few months, TV Azteca has been promoting the state of Jalisco following Televisa’s lead promoting Tequila, Guadalajara City and even Chapala, with its successful soap operas “Destilando Amor” and “Las Tontas no van al Cielo.” And this is why we’re having a lot of opportunities to see TV Azteca doing these kind of events throughout the state of Jalisco.

We also felt very proud to see that the Secretary of Public Education, along with the State Government of Jalisco, has a campaign running for adults who didn’t have a chance to finish school when they were young, to take their exams for free and get their school documents. The slogan was “Porque nunca es tarde para mejorar tu vida, termina tu primaria y secundaria” which means “Because it is never late to improve your life, come and finish your primary and secondary school.”

Besides, the government was also promoting free studies for adults who didn’t have a chance to attend school for any other reason.

There were a lot of people writing exams and filling forms to get their documents in order to have a chance to find better jobs and opportunities. Hurray for Jalisco’s Government, they always seem to look after the well-being of their people.

Celebrating a Happy Birthday at Hospicio Cabañas

One of our participants had a chance to share a Happy Birthday with a lovely girl who dressed up along with her mother and aunt to have her father take her some pictures for her 18th birthday. At first, we all thought these ladies were famous models or something, but at the end lovely Elia and her family were very happy to share this moment with us.
So, this was our tour of the Plaza Tapatía, I hope you have a chance to join us very soon.
