For many years, HCJB engineers have organized the construction of potable drinking water systems in remote villages throughout Ecuador. In collaboration with the local community, teams join in the construction of cisterns and pumping stations, excavation of trenches for water lines or installation of water pipes and outlets throughout the community. There are many opportunities for close interaction with Ecuadorians ranging from Quichua Indians to Chachi Indians to Ecuadorian mestizos.
Teams also have the opportunity to join in ministry outreaches throughout the community.
All levels of construction skills are needed. Living conditions are rustic but adequate. Travel to the communities is usually be bus.
