Little Amal Begins Her US Walk in Boston - Sampan

Amal Walks Across America is produced by The Walk Productions in association with Handspring Puppet Company in partnership with the City of Boston .

Amal has already completed a 5,000-mile trek across Europe where she was celebrated internationally, with her journey first beginning in July 2021 in Gaziantep , Turkey with her team walking all the way to the United Kingdom .

Little Amal is an expressive puppet made of bent cane, aluminum, fiberglass, and foam representing a child.

It was clear that while Amal may mean something slightly different to every person who encounters her, she brought a sense of renewed hope and community-building to Boston .
