Little Amal, the 12-foot puppet of a Syrian refugee, begins walking tour of New York City
NEW YORK -- Little Amal, a big doll with an even bigger mission, has arrived in New York City.
The 12-foot puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee represents children fleeing war, violence and persecution.
Thursday's visit to the New York Public Library was part of her 17-day walk through all five boroughs, raising awareness on the urgent need to help migrants and refugees.
Her message to the world is, "Don't forget about us."
