VOLUNTEERING TO HELP DESERT ANIMALS
Cameron Oliver had a passion for the welfare of desert animals. He received the Abu Dhabi Award
as a com¬munity hero for his contributions to society. However, the biggest reason for his fame
may be that he was very small. He was only 11 years old when he began his own campaign to save
camels from eating plastic. “I found out that camels are eating rubbish people leave behind and it’s
killing them,” says the South African boy. “I love animals, so when I saw how the camels were
dying, I thought I had to do something and make a difference to save them.”
He was very excited about receiving this award. He said, “My life changed after I received the
award, because it opened a lot of doors for me. Many people contacted and helped me promote my
campaign.”
