Yesterday morning, Little Amal arrived at JFK airport where she was welcomed by the @metopera and the @metkids choir. Today, Sept. 15, we are proud to greet her in song as she makes her way to Grand Central at 1pm. Little Amal is the giant puppet of a 10 year old Syrian refugee girl, at the heart of The Walk @walkwithamal. Since July 2021 she has travelled over 9,000km across 12 countries representing all children fleeing war, violence and persecution and each with their own story. Little Amal’s urgent message to the world is “Don’t forget about us”. She has become an international symbol of compassion and of human rights. At a time when migrant families seeking asylum at our Southern border are being treated like political pawns and being bused by GOP lawmakers in Texas and Florida to NYC with no coordination or consideration for their basic necessities, her message of hope for displaced people everywhere is much needed. 📸 @mybelovedbronx #LittleAmalWalksNYC #newyork
