A refugee child arrives in Toronto all by herself, looking for her mother and a home. What should we do?
Let’s welcome Little Amal, a 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee, who has travelled through 13 countries to 90 cities across Turkey and Europe with a visit to New York City. She arrives in Toronto on June 7. She will walk across the region for 5 days looking for hope, and maybe for her home. She will be welcomed by musicians, dancers, children and elders, civic leaders, community organizers, newcomers, fellow refugees, and you, in a festival of art and hope.
Greet her, walk with her, offer words of wisdom and cheers of encouragement. See the world through the eyes of a child who was forced to leave her war-torn home. On behalf of displaced children everywhere, she asks that we take note, offer support, and hear her message to the world: “Don’t forget about us”.
Amal’s visit to Toronto will be a magical, once-in-a-lifetime, unmissable, life-changing experience.
Welcome Amal.
