In a remarkable show of unity and commitment, the Bridges Educational Foundation—strongly supported by the parents of Bridges Academy—has successfully led the restoration of a 300-metre stretch of road that had been neglected for over 30 years. This crucial link connects several key sites in Changtongya Town, including government quarters, the town cemetery and notably, Bridges Academy itself—one of the oldest schools in the area.

More than just a road repair project, this initiative has become a testament to the power of collective action. Parents, well-wishers, and local residents came together, contributing not just funds, but materials, labour, tools, food, and heartfelt support. Their efforts have not only improved mobility and safety for daily commuters but also revitalized a shared sense of purpose and pride in the community.

“This isn’t just about fixing a road,” a committee member reflected. “It’s about building a future—together.” With such inspiring collaboration, the community is already looking ahead, ready to take on more projects that uplift and unite.
