Little Amal is a 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl who has traveled across 15 countries meeting more than a million people. She is bringing attention to the fact that half of all refugees are children. Half of all school age refugee children have lost their opportunity of a formal education and have fled war and persecution.

Between September 7- November 5, 2023, Amal will visit some of the country’s most iconic sites and natural landscapes that have become synonymous with the vast expanse of the United States. She will journey 6,000 miles across the United States. She will visit 40 towns and cities from Boston to San Diego.

On Friday, September 22, Little Amal was in Cincinnati, OH. One of our 7th grade students, Nick, was able to attend the event downtown with the Cincinnati Boychoir.
