Miss Jamaica (World) one of ‘most interviewed’ girls at pageant
AHEAD of the Miss World competition this weekend, Jamaica’s entrant, Sara Lawrence said she has become one of the most interviewed girls in Poland where the pageant is being held.
In a “hello to everyone back home in the ‘yard’ and Jamaicans everywhere”, Miss Jamaica (World) said she had made it her point of duty everywhere she went to “leave a piece of our Jamaican hospitality”.
“My experience at Miss World has been a very special one, due in large part – I believe – to the fact that I have developed a very good rapport with the Polish chaperones and journalists,” wrote Lawrence.
“This has resulted in my having had numerous interviews with the television, radio and newspapers, including an opportunity to host a show and be “the journalist for 10 minutes” on TVP. I have even been asked to sing Bob Marley songs on stage and for the radio.
Among her activities, Lawrence has also participated in a debate in Wroclaw where global issues such as AIDS, poverty and global warming were covered.
“I offered my input from a Third World point of view and was happy to be a window through which all the people gathered there could have a look into some of the issues faced by the people of our country and how we deal with them,” said Lawrence.
“Many people also got a glance into the kindhearted nature of our people as I elaborated on many of our service clubs and organisations put in place to help combat some of these issues,” she added.
“People observe our little Caribbean group and admire our special bond and I am happy to say that I was instrumental in that process. As far as the actual Miss World “fast track” competitions go, I participated in the sports event and… I submitted my testimony for “Beauty with a Purpose “and I am proud to say I made it to the finals of the Beachwear Competition,” said Miss Jamaica (World).
“I am very proud of our little island and our many accomplishments. When people see my sash and say ‘Ooooooohhhh JAMAICA’, ‘BOB MARLEY’, ‘I LOVE JAMAICA’, ‘Asafa Powell real fast’, I glow with pride…”
“One Love and God Bless.”
