By Carrie Gabla Office of AdvancementEngineering students with theǴ Bridges to Prosperityrecently returned from Totolima, Bolivia after building a bridge there to help residents access essential services.
The project in Totolima represents the ݮƵ chapter’s first bridge. The terrain there is rugged, and in the rainy season rivers and ravines flood, cutting villagers off from school, medical care, food and work.
“We want to help raise the standard of living here and around the world,” says Grace Lee, VP Media & Marketing Relations for the University chapter. “We hope our efforts, combined with many others engaged in international humanitarian causes, will make a real difference.”
