Bridge Story: The bridge at El Ritiros Las Canoas was washed out during Hurricane Agatha, isolating the community. During the six month rainy season, the community is unable to access the elementary school, clinics and their fields. Nearly one year after the destruction of the previous bridge, a new, safer and sustainable bridge was completed.
