Giant refugee girl puppet, known as 'Little Amal,' walks around New York City's Times Square, raising awareness of the plight of refugee children seeking safety across borders
Broadway performers and about 200 New York City students serenade Amal to calm her in bustling Times Square.
The 3.66 metres puppet, whose name means "hope" in Arabic, started her journey at the Syrian-Turkish border in July 2021, met with Ukrainian refugees in Europe, and will visit the city's five boroughs over the next two and a half weeks. "After the Middle East and Europe, the producers of Little Amal chose New York because they said America and Europe specifically are where the 'huddled masses' are welcome, the Emma Lazarus poem," said Avery, referring to the words inscribed on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
The puppet has captured the hearts of people throughout the world while spreading the message of solidarity for displaced people. Broadway performers and about 200 New York City students serenaded Amal to calm her in bustling Times Square.
