America’s Got Talent winner Kodi Lee, performed a number of songs that he dedicated to children around the world. Followed by a group of young musicians from Qatar Music Academy playing a medley of songs from Disney’s Aladdin. The Omani artist and disability rights activist Safiya Al Bahlan was drawing an original art piece based on the day’s theme which was live-streamed during the event.
