Little Amal, a 12-foot-tall puppet of a 10-year-old Syrian refugee girl, traveled to Detroit as a symbol of displaced people across the globe and walked across the Bagley Pedestrian Bridge, stopping at the Southwest Detroit Immigrant and Refugee Center and Matrix Theatre Company in Southwest Detroit. The not-for-profit company The Walk Productions started The Amal Fund to support refugee children. In partnership with the non-profit organization Choose Love, which provides humanitarian aid to refugee populations worldwide, the fund's target goal is $5 million. Along with emergency provisions, donations will support young refugees' education and training, helping rebuild their future.
