Photographic statements from a Mumbai slum
Apnalaya is a Mumbai based non government organisation that works with slum dwellers. It was founded in 1972 by former Australian High Commissioner to Mumbai, Tom Holland. The photographer Ian Woolverton has won two humanitarian awards. He is adept at generating public and political debate by using words and images to craft pithy and powerful opinion pieces. Recently he created a photo essay for Apnalaya. (Click on images for large version.)
