The Forgetten Garden
by Basma Elkhatib
Description
What do you see when you look around your street? Are there more people, shops, and buildings crowding the space as the years go by? Is the sky as blue as it once was, or has it turned grey from pollution?
On your street, on any street, there is a hidden place full of beauty and joy. It is there, silently waiting for someone to notice and appreciate it. Take a second and look around closely or you may just miss it.
Do you know what this place could be?
