Giant Puppet 'Little Amal', Arrives At Antwerp, Belgium
A giant puppet is currently grabbing attention across Europe to the plight of young refugees who have fled from Syria. Little Amal represents a nine-year-old Syrian refugee girl and is over 11-feet-tall. She has been walking nearly 8,000 km from the Syrian-Turkish border looking for her mother and it will end in November in Manchester. This weekend, Amal, which means “hope” in Arabic, was warmly welcomed by children, musicians, and other giants to the Borgerhout district known for its cultural diversity, on October 9th, 2021.
