A young lady has become an example to grown-ups around the world with her effort to help.
In one year she has raised nearly $200,000 US for the Gulf tragedy, and the score continues to grow. Quoted from her website: “Aspiring ornithologist, artist, and saxophone player, Olivia wept when she heard about the oil spill in the Gulf Coast, a place where she spent many vacations with her cousins and grandparents who live in Louisiana and Alabama. Knowing birds were going to suffer, she had to take action. ”
Olivia drew and donated 500 original drawings, and AOL distributed thousands of prints on her behalf. She was named 2011 Artist Inspiring Conservation by Audubon. She has now become a Disney Friend for Change, and who knows what further awards await her. Most importantly, she was one tiny person making one huge difference, a stunning example to adults who feel less empowered.
