Amal is a 12 ft. puppet who is on a 2-year journey around the world to raise awareness and hope for refugees, especially for children separated from their families. She came to several locations in D.C. this week.

Amal walked along a trail of shoes by the Capitol Reflecting Pool, representing one of the basic needs of refugees.

Representatives Debbie Dingell and Jamaal Bowman spoke to Amal about what Congress needs to do to help refugees.
