7: 30 am, June 18th. Day 2

I have a feeling that my 2nd full day in Bombay, is going to be full of surprises, just as my first day was. Today, I have scheduled a visit to Dharavi to meet the ACORN members. My goal is to gain an understanding of what the members' perceptions are of ACORN, why they joined, and what they hope to gain out of it. After a conversation with Vinod Shetty, India ACORN's director, it seems that for the past 2 years not much has taken place on the community organizing side due to the lack fo training. I mean nothing has happened with community organizing. There is an organizer in the office here who goes into Dharavi everyday and "maintains" ACORN's "social network." This of course, makes me nervous but I have very high hopes for this operation.
