Little Amal Comes to Akron

AMAL WALKS ACROSS AMERICA.
ONE LITTLE GIRL. ONE BIG HOPE.

The Walk will journey 6000 miles this fall from Boston to San Diego. She will be welcomed by 1,000+ artists at 100+ events in 35 towns and cities.

We are proud to be a partner in welcoming Amal to Akron in September!

Little Amal - whose name means 'hope' in Arabic - is a 12 foot puppet of a refugee Syrian child who has traveled to 13 countries.

She began her journey from the Syrian border and 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.”
