Description
In an area with many large rivers and heavy rainfall small river ferryboats, such as this one near Rolim de Moura (RO), serve as essential "bridges" along the various new roads and highways that are being built to connect the Northern region with the rest of the country. On similar buses, primarily landless low income families, have flocked to states like Rondónia and Acre, where the government has promised them free or cheap land.Numa área com grandes rios e grande precipitação pluviométrica, pequenas balças, tais como esta perto de Rolim de Moura(RO), servem como "pontes" ao longo de várias novas estradas e rodovias que estão sendo construi das para fazer as conexões da região Norte com o resto do país. Em ónibus semelhantes, famí1ias de baixa renda "sem-terra", migram em grande número para estados como Rondónia ou Acre, onde o governo prometeu terras de graça ou baratas.
