Little Amal – the 3.5m puppet of a refugee Syrian child who is recognised globally as a symbol of human rights – will return to London for a festival of welcome, celebration and friendship.
Shoe shine and bread
It’s lunchtime at Leadenhall Market and Amal is hungry. She walks from shop to shop looking for something to eat. She meets leaders from the Eastern Quarter of the City of London, who give her advice for the rest of her journey.
This event is kindly sponsored by Schroders in aid of The Amal Fund with Choose Love, to support displaced refugee children in the UK and across the world, including those most recently impacted by the devastating earthquakes in Türkiye and Syria.
An afternoon event – time to be revealed. Please note this event has a limited capacity.
In the City of London, major businesses will join Amal on 29 March for a day to raise urgently needed funds for displaced children across the world. As she finds her way through the bustling, ancient streets, Amal will discover the Tower of London, Paternoster Square, Leadenhall Market and Bloomberg Arcade. In partnership with Choose Love, Schroders, City of London Corporation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Paternoster Square, Leadenhall Market and Historic Royal Palaces.
Since her now celebrated 8,000km journey from the border of Syria and Turkey, Little Amal has become an international symbol of human rights. She has come to represent the millions of refugee children including those who have been separated from their families. Her urgent message to the world is “Don’t forget about us.”
