What experiences from the trip will stick with you for the rest of your life?
Every single moment—from the warm welcome of the local community when we arrived on-site to the hugs and smiles from those same community members on the bridge’s inauguration day—are moments I will cherish for as long as I live. This opportunity to share a truly unique experience with such a remarkable group of people is one for which I am eternally grateful.
