UAE leaders meet with one of the most courageous children in the country

An Emirate boy from Dubai became a media hero after meeting with the ruler of Dubai and the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi.

Last week, eight-year-old Omar Muhammad Al Hajjaj from Dubai visited Al Bateen Palace at the invitation of the UAE leaders, where he met with His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and ruler of Dubai, and His Highness Sheikh Beymen Muhammad Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.

UAE leaders noted with their invitation Omar’s noble deed and praised him for his courage and efforts to bring happiness to the world.

At eight years old, the boy's hair length exceeds 40 cm, but he does not let them go in order to pay tribute to fashion. From the age of three, Omar grows his hair and donates it to cancer patients who have lost their hair due to chemotherapy.

Al Hajjaj, the youngest of three brothers and sisters in his family, decided to grow his hair when he saw his aunt fighting cancer. Omar is growing his hair for the third time and donating it to charity.

After meeting with the country's leaders, Al Hajjaj became the star of social networks.
