Who hears their worries?
Children under the age of ten from House Of Ruth Maryland, a domestic violence shelter in Baltimore, created contemporary Worry Dolls based on Guatemalan traditions. These dolls take on the burden of our worries when we are sleeping. The children were asked to make one extra doll, to give to someone they thought might need it, in a lesson dealing with the concept of “empathy”.
