They Come Here for Their Children



Gulfton Story Trail Mural

7402 Albacore Dr., Houston, TX 77074



Eliud Zavala (aka Real 333) created “They Come Here for Their Children”, as a part of The Gulfton Story Trail, which is an immersive art experience that invites the viewer—the explorer—to discover the neighborhood’s many cultures and voices. Nestled in between Gulfton’s global cuisines and eclectic shops are 12 inspiring murals. Each vibrant piece is multi-dimensional, born from poetry written by Gulfton students, expressed visually by muralists, and experienced by residents and visitors, blending Gulfton’s stories with their own. Eliud’s mural is based off of Jesus Mayen’s poem “Them.” “They Come Here for Their Children” is about opportunities.



“With prayers in their pockets

Hoping to start new,

To have a better lifestyle.

They come here for their children”
