The University of Waterloo chapter was founded in the fall of 2013, and we work with the international organization to build a footbridge for a community from design to construction. Our chapter has decided to build our first bridge in Bolivia this summer in August 2014.
B2P allows students to not only create a positive impact on poor communities, but also works to develop the chapter members' technical, leadership, and teamwork skills by presenting a real-world problem to solve. We have several teams working to make this footbridge a reality: the fundraising team, design team, travel team and the media & marketing relations team, all of which are vital to the smooth operation of our chapter.
