    Given that 43.3 million of the world's refugees are children, it is fitting that a 12- foot-tall partially animatronic puppet portraying a 10-year-old Syrian refugee named "Little Amal" has been on a worldwide tour since 2021, calling attention to the plight of refugee children under the banner, "Don't forget about us." The "walks," as the tours are called, have been viewed by millions both in person and online, making it one of the most successful campaigns yet in bringing attention to the refugees' plight. The walks also help raise badly needed funds to provide refugees with "academic training and education, as well as supplying people with food, shelter and medical services."
