Views of Juruena September 2006 [3]

Views from around the parish [3]
The women of the "Pastoral da Saúde" which is a parish run health centre using alternative medicine and remedies from the local forest and local knowledge. Most of the workers are volunteers and is free to the poorest. The local doctor and pharmacist are not big fans of this social outreach programme.

The dug out at the local football pitch


A timber lorry crosses Rio de Juruena on the local ferry.


George & Leo with Juruena river in the background and this picture is taken before the rains have arrived. It flows from here to end up in the Amazon river. The town and county are named after this river.


Motorbike business and family transport!
