Little Amal in Toronto
Little Amal, a captivating 12-foot-tall puppet representing a refugee child from Syria, arrives in Nashville this fall as part of an epic 6,000-mile journey across the United States from Boston to San Diego. Amal — whose name means “hope” in Arabic — began her journey at the Syrian border and has visited 13 countries searching for home. She carries a message of hope for displaced people everywhere, especially children who have been separated from their families. Her urgent message is simple — “don’t forget us.”
Gather with our community for this unforgettable, free event in Centennial Park. Enjoy a moving performance directed by Shabaz Ujima welcoming Little Amal to Nashville and embracing all that she represents for refugees across the globe.
