When a child is born, a dream is born. Children come with various gifts for their lives, their parents, community and the world. However due to various social, cultural and economic factors not all children manage to arrive at the desired destinations. Developing urban centers brings children from various social and economic backgrounds living and sharing. It is very easy for children to adapt to another culture or having their dream crushed. Some Children has been negatively/positively affected by family relations, media, teachers’ environment around them etc. This project is therefore aiming to discover Children’s dreams and how they can possibly be supported to realize their full potential.
