Enjoy this true and inspirational story for children.

"Our Side of the Bridge" tells how actions impact a community and how working together makes a difference. It was written by a mother, with photographs from her two young daughters about what it means to lend a hand. Sometimes, it means letting go of their mother so she can travel 7,000 miles to build a footbridge. Over two weeks, a team of volunteers built the Kabere Suspended Bridge in Rwanda. They collaborated with Bridges to Prosperity, a nonprofit that partners with local governments to connect communities. The presentation will include a photography display in the Cafe area from July 2-29. Joanna dela Rosa was born in Manila, Philippines, emigrated to the US, and attended NYU to pursue journalism, photography and studio arts. She lives in NJ with her family. Go here to learn more about "Our Side of the Bridge."

Registration recommended for updates and reminders.
