A nonprofit serving members of Central Arkansas’ Hispanic community has opened a new building in North Little Rock. On Wednesday, representatives of Seis Puentes cut the ribbon at the nonprofit's new home on MacArthur Drive.

Seis Puentes, which translates to ‘six bridges,’ provides resources and support for newcomers to Arkansas’ Spanish-speaking community. The organization's roots date back to 1998, and Executive Director Raúl Fernández says he wants more people to understand that Hispanic immigrant communities in Arkansas are not new.

“I think that one thing that people don't realize is that the Hispanic and immigrant community— we're everywhere. You know? We're part of your community already, and we have been already. Not for the last four or five years, but for the last 20 or 30 years.”
