Little Amal leaves NYC with spectacular sendoff
Performances moved inside to St. Ann’s Warehouse due to weather
DUMBO — Little Amal, a 12-foot-tall, lifelike puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl, bid goodbye on Sunday to New York City after a whirlwind 19-day visit across all five boroughs.
As she walked across the city, Little Amal brought attention to the plight of refugees around the world.
Those who braved the weather for one last look at Amal (the festivities were moved indoors to St. Ann’s Warehouse due to the high wind and drizzle) were treated to an amazing spectacle, as the “friends” Amal met on her travels through the city sang, drummed and danced their farewells.
