For the first time since its inception three years ago, all the proceeds from this year's Miss West Africa UK (MWAUK) will be donated to various charities across Africa a statement just issued by the pageant's organisers has announced. MWAUK which also supports its resident charity the Joshua Tree Foundation's Ripple Scheme has been showcasing contestants representing countries from the West African region but had never reached out to the mother continent where many charities and NGO's are strapped for cash. According to the statement signed by MWAUK's Director Bridgette Chalu the winner of this year's contest will also represent the UK at the next Miss West Africa International billed for December 2012 in Free Town Sierra Leone. Miss West Africa UK 2012 will be officially launched on Saturday 7th July 2012 at the Nottinghill Harbour Club.
Wait a minute! How many African beauty pageants are we going to have in the UK alone? Cant these MADAMS find anything better to offer young Black girls?
