Bridge Story: The community of Toreni (30 families – 200 people) is located about 30min drive before the river. Just beyond the river is the community of Entre Rios (18 families, approximately100 people). The river is no only separating these two communities, but is inhibiting of all the communities farther along this road (about 5 communities, approximately 700 people) to connect with other communities and with the town of Tiquipaya. This bridges will have a huge impact on all the communities surrounding the river and beyond.
