It’s hard to imagine that this neighbourhood’s history is deeply rooted in poverty and trash strewn everywhere. |
One resident says that before the community is poor and the buildings so dilapidated that no one wants to come live here. Now a 200-metre mural on a wall has changed all that. |
Many youths spend nearly a month painting the street art. |
The cost of the artwork is about US$880 paid for by the Dan Phuong Steering Committee. |
The green earth is the main theme of the street art. |
A Dan Phuong Steering Committee member says that now the streets are always bright and clean as people no longer throw their garbage on the ground like they used to. |
