A: I joined the slum tour which NGO Reality gives in Mumbai.

Part of the tour was the Dharabi slum. It's the third largest slum in the world. It's a slum which has plastic recycle facilities.

I met a lot of tour groups in this area, and I wonder how they contribute to the area. Our tour agent, Reality uses the revenue generated by the tours to improve the area through education - such as English and computer programs for the kids. I even participated in one of of the programs which was a street art watching tour. There were many big, really amazing, art paintings on the sides of apartment buildings. I really enjoyed the tours.
