The Dharvi Slum tour - It was fantastic- the guide Pooja grew up in Dharvi and explained the living conditions, the businesses that operate there and how people lived. She knew the area very well and was sensitive to the culture. She spoke English very well, articulating her thoughts with a sense of humour.

Inspirational - I was initially worried about spending time in India, unsure of how I would handle the cultural shock, so I decided to confront it head on and becoming more informed. This tour was perfect. Our guide was a delight as she shared the many accomplishments of the slum area in which she lived. Recycling plastics seemed to take centre stage, they also have a strong leather industry, and many street vendors. What was remarkable was that we experienced zero begging in the slums, unlike everywhere else we went in Mumbai. The people work hard, get paid little, but there is a very strong sense of community, coupled with hope. It’s amazing to see the strength, determination and resilience of these people!
