I left Panama yesterday in a teary bus ride. As I start my journey home and reflect on the experiences of the past two years, I want to leave you with some inspiration. Remember the Indiana Jones-style footbridge that crossed a raging river to get to the local school? Well, after lots of angry antidotes from the PCV in the area and a few protests by the local people, the big-wigs in Panama City were able to spare a few dollars from the multi-million dollar metro project to put up a better foot bridge for the community.
Development happens. Things get better, easier. There is hope.
