Another mural at Old Doha Port, painted as part of the "World Wide Walls International Mural Festival", hosted by Qatar Museums in Nov/Dec 2023.

The mural "Collecting Dreamswas painted by Adry del Rocio, from México.
The artist says: "Most children have dreams growing up - what they want to do or be. Sadly in many parts of the world there are children who don't have the luxury to dream as their thoughts revolve around basic necessities - will they have something to eat or will they even be alive the next day...
As adults, what can we do to provide a safe environment for children so they can grow up happy, secure and be able to dream?"

  18. I like the sentiment. Unfortunately, here in the US, about half the population seems to have no empathy for people, even children.

    1. That's very sad Linda. It does seem people are getting more selfish and mean.
