Sustaianable Santa Camels | Featured by Gulf News
Another resident who spreads the cheer of a green Christmas is Afiya Vasim. A structural engineer-turned-artist, she crafts eco-friendly Santa Camel souvenirs to promote the message of a sustainable Christmas.
These miniature Santa Camel figurines, crafted intricately from sustainable paper mâché, blend artistry with environmental consciousness. Each one is a vibrant, Christmas-themed artwork—adorned with Santa hats, shoes, garlands, and miniature presents.
“I am so happy and proud that these camels have become a bridge, connecting cultures, creating memories, and spreading joy. These camels are more than just gifts. They are a celebration of the UAE’s spirit, a testament to sustainability, and a tribute to the universal joy of Christmas,” said Afiya.
