Introduction
During the Tunisian Revolution of Dignity of January 2011, many cars of local car dealers who were connected and associated with the ex-President's family clan were publicly demolished and some burned. Later, many of these wrecks were brought to a field in Carthage-Byrsa. Last Sunday, 27th February, art and architecture students, joined by local residents, painted on the remains of these cars to express their joy about the revolution and hope for the future.

One of the goals of African Lens is to serve as a platform of advocacy - for stories that need to be told. This is one of them. Hopefully, this story will generate enough interest to spur more action / help towards the street kids here.
