The bridge in the background was constructed by Ascend Alliance, a humanitarian aid organization who Jesse (red shirt) is interning for this summer in Bolivia. Jesse was a buddy of mine from school. They built the bridge over this busy street because there is a school on the right hand side and a few kids had been killed trying to cross the street. So, the people from the area started to protest and Ascend helped the local mayor get a bridge constructed. They also put up this fence that you can see so that people would have to cross the bridge. Then other local people started protesting (cutting off transit on the road) because they didn´t want to walk down to the bridge. So here we are (ordered by the mayor) to take out a section of the fence so people can cross the street. Now the busnessman down by the bridge are mad because more people are going to cross the street there and they say they are going to go out of business. Like my pops always said, "some people will complain if you don´t hang them with a new rope."
