More than 5, 000 residents of West Kasipul will begin using Nyiwir Bridge on River Awach after funds were raised towards its construction. For more than a decade, residents have been crossing the river using a bridge made of logs. They include Michael Amolo, a Class 3 pupil at Kalanding Primary School, who drowned on his way to school. Nyiwir bridge connects a number of villages in the area to Kalanding primary, Kalanding secondary, Nyakiya secondary, Nyakiya primary, Nandi primary and God Kwach primary schools. On Thursday, some residents held a fundraiser to get cash to construct a permanent bridge.
