Visiting volunteers construct Community Bridge

Feb 24, 2013 News

An International organization called Builders Beyond Borders, based in New Jersey, USA, in collaboration with the Mashabo Village Council, Digicel and Food For The Poor Guyana Inc constructed a 245-foot concrete bridge.
The construction of the concrete bridge commenced on February 16 and ended on Mash Day.
The bridge replaced a dilapidated structure that linked Hosanna with Mashabo.
The new bridge, according to a representative of Food For The Poor, will be of tremendous benefit to the Amerindian community of Mashabo since it provides easy access between the communities.
The children of Mashabo Primary will be the prime beneficiaries, the representative added because more than 90 percent of the student population resides in Hosanna.
Thirty-four volunteers from the Builders Beyond Borders including twenty eight youths from Mashabo between the ages of 14 and 17 traveled from the United States of America to work on the project along with several youths from Mashabo and the staff of Food For The Poor.
The experience for the volunteering youths was exceptional, since they were able to learn about Guyana and its cultural diversity, particularly the Amerindian culture and traditions.
