Delisha Wright, one of the ten finalists for the Miss Guyana World pageant was recently assigned Region One (Barima/Waini) in keeping with the requirements of the pageant, and she plans on highlighting some of the region’s features as well tackling the issue of sexual abuse.
“….I am proud to share some of this region’s most magnificent features….including the Republic Arch and the famous Kissing Rocks found in Central Mabaruma. Barima/Waini is also known for its rich alluvia soil that produces crops: coffee, cabbage, ground provision and so much more,” Wright said in a release to the media.
Each finalist has been tasked with a beauty with a purpose project and Delisha’s is fighting sexual abuse in Guyana through awareness, prevention and strategic action. She plans on initiating small groups within secondary schools where
