What has this experience meant to you?
The experience of building a trail bridge in 10 days and learning about the challenges that the locals face on a daily basis and the positive impact this bridge will have on the quality of their lives was incredibly rewarding and humbling. I am proud of the fact that Michael Baker is engaged in this noble and impactful endeavor that truly Makes a Difference and am grateful that I had the opportunity to contribute.
