Bridge Story: There is a small culvert bridge between Guadalupe which is near the main road and the communities of El Porvenir, Tula and Guayaba, but it is in very bad state and is very low, and so when the rains come the inhabitants of the 3 communities can't cross to go anywhere nor can the people in Guadalupe cross to their fields on the other side of the river. This bridge will allow the children to go to secondary school, and to all residents to get to town and cultivate their fields.
