Nassau,
The Bahamas—On 4th September 2014, The President of the Miss Bahamas
Organization (MBO), Ms. Michelle Malcolm and the recently crowned Miss Bahamas
World 2014, Ms. Rosetta Cartwright and Miss Universe Bahamas 2014, Ms. Tomii

greeted by the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Philip Miller and Senior Diplomats and
Officials of the Ministry.
The
“Beauty Ambassadors” presented their platforms and current activities to the
Ministry sharing the purpose for their initiatives and the reasons why they
were inspired to choose these causes. Miss Bahamas World’s platform focuses on
Education as a means of positive development of Society, where she is currently
engaged in initiatives to introduce programmes into the nation’s schools for
the purpose of assisting students that need help with learning. Miss Universe Bahamas’ platform reflects her
mission statement, “To inspire, nurture and encourage self-worth and inner
peace in youth and children,” where she will be engaged in initiatives that
will focus on positive self-development of the youth and children within the
nation to help them to have a positive outlook on themselves, others and
society.
The
President of the MBO shared with the Ministry the genesis, goals and objectives
of the Organization which seek to develop young women to become positive role
models in society. She requested more support from the Government and the
community in the development and exposure of the Queens and expressed her
gratitude to the Ministry for its agreed assistance.
The Miss
World Pageant is set to take place this December in London and the Miss
Universe Pageant is also projected to take place this December at a venue that
will be announced shortly.
