Movimiento Sem Terra




Here are some pictures from the MST (Movement Without Land) camp we visited in Brazil. You can see from the pictures that all the buildings are constructed by members within the group and thus quite simple. The last picture is their school buildings and the first and third are their houses. I thought I would include the little boy riding the dog because he followed us around the camp while we were there. In regards to the movement of people, they are small farmers who don't have land and can't afford to buy it. I won't go into great detail but the movement itself is pretty interesting and there is lots of information online if you want to learn more.
