Little Amal in Cambridge

by Elissa Gershowitz
Sep 13, 2023 | Filed in Blogs

"Little Amal has become an international symbol of compassion and of human rights. She carries a message of hope for displaced people everywhere, especially children who have been separated from their families." (From WalkwithAmal.org)

Last week, my family was able to "meet" Little Amal as she made her walk through Harvard Yard. It was an unforgettable and very moving event, and brought up lots of good discussion.
