8. Educate Yourself on Poverty
It may seem crass to go on a guided tour of a gigantic slum but companies who offer these outings claim that the only way to get a real understanding of the daily lives of the world’s poorest citizens is to see it with your own eyes.
Slum tours are offered in places like the Dharavi slum in Mumbai, India, and in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. These companies conduct the tours in a respectful way, educating visitors about the history of the area and what is being done to improve the lives of people living there.
