TRANSCRIPT
ASSIGNMENT 3 – HULT PRIZE COMPETITION
Vân Hương – Mai Bằng – Tú Oanh - Ngọc Dung
It is also written when our SUPERHERO TOURISM AGENCY
shows you that :
SLUMS are the lands of spiritual happiness whenever you
help children there by Early Childhood Education
Everything starts with the meaning of Oscar winner film
"Slumdog millionaires"....
"It is written when Jamal - a young slummer, wins the famous TV show
"Who to be a Millionaires"
WE CHOOSE THE COUNTRY
INDIA• Belongs to South Asia - the
largest slum region in the world
• SLUMS is one of the most
popular keywords when
searching about India
• 65 million people are living in
slums in India, in which focus on
2 biggest slums: Dhravi and
Maharastra.
• TripAdvisor: India is the one of
the most interesting cheap price
destination of travelling in the
world.
OUR TARGET
TARGET CONSUMER
• Income: AB+, live in urban
• Interested in voluntourism
• Want to discover the unseen things and help people in slums
SLUMMERS
• Slum family : more than 8 millions household in Dhravi and Maharastra
• Income: DEF, live in urban slum, low educated
• They focus on making money all day to satisfy basic need and don’t have so much time for their children
• Education is slum's hope. They try as hard as possible to give their children education.
+ Voluntourism is the new travel trend
+ Current mechanism: tourists will go to slums to see real life of slummers. They will
donate an amount of money to help the poor in slum after ending the journey.
• Advantage: Tourists have experiences so far different to everything they hear from media. Slums are not all about poor.
• Disadvantage: Some slummers might feel uncomfortable because they do not want their lives to be “seen” directly by strangers'eyes. The donation activity also widens gap between the poor and the rich. It is even better to be invisible.
The current mechanism of volunteer tourism agency brings partly
negative effect: makes slummers want to be invisible.

LIFE IN INDIAN SLUM REVIEW
"I like it here because people are friendly and look out for me. If my husband is working late
and does the night shift I don't feel scared because I think this is the safest place for us.
If I had more money, I would probably build a bigger house."
ESAKKIAMAL, 40 Y/o, Housewife - also does embroidery work at home.
"We stay in a slum but we have our religion, our culture and our tradition," he said. "We always
stay together and we have a very good sense of community. If there is a neighbor who has a
problem or a festival to celebrate, we do it with them.”
Narsir, 37 Y/o, pottery maker.
SLUM TRUTH
It is not the most hygienic place, it may not be the most ideal
place to live, it might not be ideally first-world,
but it is NOT a place of SORROW.
They always be hopeful about the future
CONSUMER REVIEW
They are tourists who join in volunteer tour
CONSUMER TRUTH
People come to volunteer tourism to help them get
out of "sorrow“ in life, to live fully the happiness
WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO TRAVEL? Because travelling REFRESH our life. It helps us escape from the stress, the sorrow and the hurt
of modern life.
WHY PEOPLE WANT TO JOIN IN VOLUNTEER TOUR?
Helping other people makes them happy and proud. It can be the good way to prevent or
blow away negative feeling as SORROW.
We want to create a tourism agency as a social enterprise that can
help slummers in a invisible way.
Our key value is: The tourists are not the GIVER donating money for
slums. Exactly the slummers are the GIVER, who help the tourists live fully
the happiness. And we can empower more people to create hapiness

BUSINESS VALUE
ROLE OF ECE TO OUR BUSINESS
In general, ECE activates potential of
children’s brain and bring lots of
benefits to them in the future.
Especially for ones living in slums,
ECE is LIFE-SAVER.
Because these kids must fight to
survive harder than any other
children, so that we need to equip
them with skills, ability to improvise
and adapt as soon as possible.
Children are angels bringing
happiness to everybody
=> Helping children in slums by
teaching them ECE is the way to
experience the happiness of
tourists.
LIFE-SAVER + INVISIBLE + HAPPINESS
=> We create superhero teams who
are the life-savers of slum children by
teaching them ECE online (training
about ECE for superheroes online).
Then, when they experience the tour
especially organized by slummers,
the joy and admiration from slum
children will bring happiness to the
superheroes - the tourists.
BIG IDEA
Because in India slum, children always believe in heros
We choose the most suitable pillars in ECE to
transfer them into many package for tourist and
they can learn online before go to slum area
+ Package Baymax - HEALTH: for those who
want to teach children the skills to be able
to have life safety (Practical life skills: self-
defense, prevent accident…)
+ Package Spiderman - SAFETY: teach
children healthy and distinguish food,
nutrition… (Physical science )
+ Package Cypher - LANGUAGE: teach
children English to enhance
communication and connection with the
world, “get a ticket to get out of slums”
Our business is a online platform, where tourist
can find many slums destination in the world (at
first will be India’s slums)
Then we connect voluntourist and slummers by
our education packages and tours organized by
slummers
We let slummers organize their tour around
their place on the special transportation (hero
bus) and teach children on this bus
Tourists can also reach several destinations
each tour as well as teach more children and
create more tour-guide job for slummers
MECHANISISM
Each package will help children activate potential of brain
• Create more tour-guide and destinations in slum areas
