Harrovians build bridge for Costa Rican community

In the summer holidays thirteen Harrow School boys undertook a "Harrow Challenge" in Costa Rica, Central America. The aim of the Harrow Challenge was very simple: to build a bridge fifty metres long over a river. The bridge gave the very poor community there access to the beach and negated the need to cross the river with canoes. It is also to be hugely beneficial to the conservationists, biologists and volunteers that work to protect the endangered turtles that use the beaches around the area to lay their eggs. "Everybody realised on arrival that I had not exaggerated when I warned the boys that we were going to a very remote area in the Costa Rican jungle with very few luxuries," said Mrs Lotje Smith, the Harrow beak who organised the project. "However, I had not exaggerated the beauty of the area either, which was some compensation." more >>
