I have always been an advocate of peace amongst fans of different pageants. May it be major or minor as long as they fulfill a womans dream of representing a country in the world stage or by promoting their advocacy.
But this I can't take. How can a so called reputable organization display women in full make up and glamour, parading the streets of Caracas without being sensitive to its people, who doesnt have enough money to support their daily living, who has no electricity for days, who works for an 8 hour shift and earning only $3 USD in a day.
How can the org and the girls be insensitive in posting activities like dining in restaurants when people on the ground are queuing to buy for just butter and flour?
How hosting a pageant in a country were no tourist would dare to visit to at least mobilize the local economy of Venezuela, can help its people in crisis. How??? How can those national organizers be insensitive?
I hope the organization can come up with a solid plan on how they can at least help the people of Venezuela. Showing a pageant in the country will absolutely wont do much. I would even appreciate if girls will be engage in a teleton to raise money to feed the kids or reach out to international agencies that will help aid the problems of this country.
The whole world wants to help but staging a pageant in a poverty stricken country wont do much. So to the girls competing tell us why you are there?. Be a beacon if light to the people of Venezuela and give them a good reason why you are there?. Please dont even go to saying I would like to represent my country in a major pageant who give $40,000 price money.....
