Bridge Completion

So, how exactly did this work? Anzar Exchange contributed a sum of money that was collected after a flood tore through the tiny village of Ait Metchoun last October. It was determined on the ground that what was needed more than anything else was a bridge since the previous bridge had been destroyed. In the meantime they strung up a cord attached to an intertube and they pullied themselves across the river. However, this is not safe nor practical for older people, groceries and supplies. So with the contribution of Anzar Exchange, our sister organization in El Mers matched it and then sollicited donations from the village. Nine months full of many volunteer work hours later, we have a beautiful foot bridge that traverses the river. I'm so proud of our Anzar counterparts. They did a really great job!
