Ejipura slums is perhaps Bengaluru's largest. The challenges of poor infrastructure, unchecked development, and large scale urban migration come to focus here. Poverty and associated effects are all around. Yet, this is also a place where the human spirit triumphs over adversity. We will stop at the Swabhimaan community center - where children of all ages from the neighborhood come for curricular tuitions and after school programs. You will meet the teachers and volunteers working hard to improve student performance. We will then stop at the Swabhimaan Clinic - where doctors consult and distribute medicines for an all inclusive price of Rs. 10 (12 cents) per visit. Finally we will stop by at the Swabhimaan grocery distribution center where free staples are served to the most in need. A Swabhimaan volunteer will walk you through the sites. All proceeds are given back to people in the community through Swabhimaan Trust, a non-profit working in Ejipura since 2002.

１人で参加したため、参加前は不安でしたがスラム街の中は治安も悪くなく、ガイドの方が丁寧に説明してくれて理解が深まりました。スラム街の小学校では子どもたちに触れる機会もあり、暗いと思っていたスラム街ですが生きている人たちの強さと明るさを感じることができます。一方で、まだまだ貧しい生活している現状を知ることもできました。 バンガロールに訪れるのであれば、必ず参加してほしいと思うくらい価値のある体験ツアーです。

I met my host, Ashif, in front of the passport office as instructed. We headed from there across the street into Ejipura, where we were greeted by Swabhimaan's (the NGO's) founder, Venkatraman. It seemed as if he knew everyone in the area, and you can tell that he is well-liked and respected. He showed me the medical clinic, the food distribution area, the area where hot meals are distributed, where school takes place, and I got to meet a wonderful group of women healthcare leaders. Along the way, he explained about life in the slums and how his NGO is striving to help people better their situations through better healthcare, education, skills, and microloans. As someone who has a BS in Human Development and is getting ready to graduate from nursing school, this tour was amazing and gave me a lot of food for thought. Don't take this tour to gawk at the people and their condition of living. Use it as a learning experience to expand your horizons, and definitely come with an open mind.

For me as a young teacher (from Germany) it was a really nice experience to visit a local school in Bangalore. I can really recommend this tour, also for solotraveller like me. The guides are awesome. They really cared about me and my interests. I felt really safe the whole time. Thanks to Ashif ????
