Dharavi and beyond

This morning we went on a powerful, few hour tour of the Dharavi slum with Krishna, a founder of Reality Tours, which is a non-profit dedicated to sharing and raising awareness about this community with locals and travelers alike, and fully reinvesting their proceeds in educational resources and the like.

Students will be blogging momentarily, but a quick preview:  what was the experience like?  Here are a list of adjectives they chose to capture their thoughts about Dharavi—it was: enlightening, organized, panicked, mid-blowing, confusing, surprising, true, eye-opening, struggling, real, difficult, working.
