A Bamboo Bridge in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam

Quang Nam Province, Vietnam


A bamboo bridge is a familiar scene in rural areas of Quang Nam Province, the middle of Vietnam. People here use a ferry to transport, however, in rain season or storms, a ferry is not able to carry passengers. To solve this problem, inhabitants contribute their effort, materials to construct a bamboo bridge. Some join a project with bamboos, others provide tons of nails and lots of others give worn-out wheel tires. This bridge helps villagers to move forwards and backwards on the daily basis to develop the economy of a village. However, it poses a threat: the bridge is not safe after a long time in use. The grim reaper is looming for those of bad luck walking on a slipery bridge on raining days.

Nowadays, many civil society associations call for all-kind donation to build concrete bridges in far remote regions to help children go to school or people go to work or do business safely.
