13^th Compound:

Today we met with the leader of the 13^th Compound, who was just elected president of ‘Dharavi Businessmen’s Welfare Association.’ Then we got a tour of the area and got to see all sorts of industries: plastic sorting; plastic, tin can recycling; soap production. These raw materials are sold to companies from the outside.
