Walk with Amal“Dover needs much more of this” says Mayor of Dover, Assessore Gordon Cowan

“È un evento straordinario e importante per Dover”

“È bello vedere un evento legare la Città e il Castello”

“Meraviglioso e spettacolare – le lanterne sono bellissime”

Centinaia di persone locali che trasportano 500 handmade lanterns and stars turned out on Wednesday 20° October to greet Amal and walk with her in procession from Pencester Gardens up to Dover Castle. At the Castle a new Lighthouse of Stars was lit up as a sign of welcome and hope to those seeking safety and refuge.

Amal is a 3.5m tall puppet of a refugee child made by those who created War Horse. She is walking 8000km from the Syrian border across Europe to Manchester to highlight the plight of child refugees and raise awareness and understanding in the communities she visits.

Dover’s Future Foundry CIC, supported with a grant of £1,500 from the Town Council, ha organizzato l'evento a Dover coinvolgendo i bambini delle scuole locali e il pubblico. Grazie a tutti coloro che hanno supportato Walk with Amal. You are the proof that Dover is a Community that Cares
