Ghana�s representative at this year�s Miss World beauty
pageant competition Stephanie Adwoa Adjeiwaa Karikari, is
gradually warming herself into the finals.
In a feat that came as little surprise to the organizers of the
Miss World event, Karikari made Ghana proud by qualifying
as one of ten finalists in the Beauty With a Purpose (BWP)
segment.
The Segment is one of several Fast Track events that precede
the major announcement and crowing of the Miss World
queen. The dynamics are such that, a finalist in any particular
Fast Track event automatically stands a chance of winning the
ultimate crown.
All eyes would be on Stephanie as she carries the weight of a
nation on her shoulders. Together with other 112 queens, they
would give the world yet another reason why the Miss World
event is the world�s most prestigious pageant. Last year�s
winner Alexandra Mills, who only got engaged recently, will
crown her successor.
Meanwhile, preparations for the 61st edition of Miss World
finale, which will take place at the Earls Court Two in London
on Sunday evening, are at an advanced stage.
The last time Ghana won the Beauty With A Purpose segment was in 2006, when Lamisi Mbillah stunned the judges with her work on combating Guinea Worm and also, iodine deficiency in Ghana.
The Beauty With A Purpose is at the heart of the Miss World
organization. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been
donated to local and international organizations in aid of
disadvantaged children the world over.
Last year�s winner Natasha Metto from Kenya helped to
educate young people about the dangers of the jigger worm
and then helped those worse affected by the epidemic the
worm caused. Stephanie�s trip to London was made possible by Virgin
Atlantic.
