Global Healthcare Project (GHP) of California, USA, conducts various community projects in poor communities and regions across the globe. Previously, they had helped the residents of Pueblo Nuevo, Guatemala, set up a local pharmacy for their remote village in the northwest mountain highlands. Recently, the community again requested GHP's help in setting up an ambulance service since people could not reach a hospital when there was an emergency. GHP assembled a volunteer team of 22 university students to provide an ambulance, set up an emergency call system, and train some of the residents to act as EMTs (emergency medical technicians). However, the students could only be gone for 30 days, so this had to be a very fast project. However, GHP found that the resource and infrastructure needs were overwhelming: There was no suitable vehicle in the community to buy and convert into an ambulance. Moreover, they wanted this project to be a "communityowned" effort with the community owning the ambulance and maintaining the system. The nearest hospital was 3 hours away down rough mountain terrain. There was no basic equipment available for the ambulance, not even oxygen tanks. Very few villagers had a driver's license
