Since July 2021, Little Amal – a puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl – has visited 16 countries in Europe and North America carrying a message of peace.
Between 6th and 26th November she visited Mexico, the first Latin American and Spanish-speaking country of her long journey. She visited 11 neighbourhoods, towns and cities and was greeted by 42 events by nearly half a million people.

“Mexico, like the United States, is a country that has been shaped and impacted by a history of migration. In both cases, it is a story of promise and challenge.
It’s also a story that weaves across its borders, as all immigrants know. In Mexico, Little Amal will share her message of hope with the Mexican people, as well as with migrants currently crossing the country, or those from previous generations who have traveled across the border, in both directions.” – The Walk Productions Artistic Director Amir Nizar Zuabi
