During the visit to Dharavi slum, I am very grateful to our guide Ruqaiyya. Not only was she familiar with every corner of the local area, she also enthusiastically introduced the history and culture here to us. Through her explanation, I learned that Dharavi is not only a symbol of poverty, but also a community full of creativity and resilience. Ruqaiyya also took us to visit many small factories and handicraft workshops, allowing me to see how residents work hard to make a living in a difficult environment. Her guidance gave me a deeper understanding of life here!
