Description
Little Amal is making big waves.
She’s a 12-foot puppet representing a 10-year-old Syrian refugee who was displaced. San Diego County residents who came to San Ysidro Saturday are calling her a symbol of compassion and human rights. She’s carrying a message of hope for displaced people everywhere, especially children who have been separated from their families.
"She is a large empathy muscle that brings a lot of reverence and reflection and community bonding," said Khadijat Oseni, Artistic Associate for Little Amal USA.
Saturday, she walked through a San Ysidro neighborhood collecting letters that will go to migrant families living across the border in Tijuana.
