The accompanying art exhibition is being held to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Dreama Centre. Local artists and students from Qatar’s schools are participating in the exhibition, showcasing their artworks to support Dreama’s children. The exhibition aims to bring smiles to the faces of children and foster families and to promote the concept of family and foster care, which provides a safe and nurturing environment for growth and development. In this context, the executive director of Dreama stated, "Our children are our future, and at Dreama, we believe that every child holds within them the seed of excellence. Today, we celebrate their remarkable achievements and strive to enhance a culture of excellence in their lives.
