Improving the favelas at Rio de Janeiro (Rocinha)

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal Philippines | September 22, 2014




Old Rocinha


New Rocinha



From Globe eye - improving the favelas

From Geography Learn on the Internet

I again saw at the TV the AJ feature on Rocinha, one of the 600 favelas at Rio de Janeiro.   Favelas are the equivalent of slum areas - make shift houses and of light materials.. Starvation amidst plenty.   Rocinha is beside Copacabana. and fronts the gorgeus beachfront property.  It is home to some 90 to 160t population


Very near the Copacobana beach
