Right now 15 to 20 percent of families in this area live without adequate housing and volunteers are needed to help change this situation. Construction volunteers will work with a maestro de obras or construction supervisor who will explain what needs to be done and how to do it. Volunteers must be of age 18 or above with minimum education of high school.

Volunteers with the following special skills are preferred for the placement:- Engineering Student Carpenter Framer Drywall Equipment General Labour

Volunteers can assist by doing following tasks:- As a construction volunteer you will participate in various phases of the construction process, including digging the foundation and septic tanks, mixing concrete, laying cement block, building rebar frames for the walls and roof, pouring concrete floors, and plastering the walls. On a typical workday, you will work at the construction site along with Habitat families, other volunteers, and the Habitat-contracted maestro de obras or construction supervisor. You may not see the entire house constructed while you are here, but you will be able to witness tremendous progress as a result of your work.
