Penn State Bridges to Prosperity

Penn State Students Empower Rural Communities with Bridges to Prosperity

Students at Penn State are traveling to rural Panama to build a pedestrian bridge for the community of Membrillo. Flooding during the rainy season prevents community members from traveling to school, work, and the market. By building a bridge for the community of Membrillo, the Penn State chapter of Bridges to Prosperity will give them safe access to these necessities. - April 24, 2014
