Earlier this morning I was on Twitter and stumbled upon a tweet by Ann Voskamp (author of One Thousand Gifts) that included a video from the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
It shows how a Peruvian community comes together to rebuild a grass bridge every year. They've been doing this for centuries. No one forces them to do it, it's just that the communities involved, living on either side of a very deep canon, want to stay in contact with each other.
The whole process takes about a day, because almost every adult helps. And at the end they come together to have a party.
The video is around three minutes long, and it's about the most uplifting, fun and educational video I've seen in a long, long time.
Enjoy!
