Ambassadors chosen at Child Welfare pageant
Together with the illustrious title, the respective winners will go home with fabulous prizes
Who will be crowned at the Child Welfare function this weekend? In keeping with the popular ditty, Child Welfare has proclaimed that “It’s the Final Countdown!” The final list for Mr Child Welfare and Miss Child Welfare has been finalised. 11 females and four males will market themselves in front of a panel of judges to motivate why they should shoulder ambassadorial duties for the next 12 months.
Together with the illustrious title, the respective winners will go home with fabulous prizes. The competition in question will be convened at the Crown Hotel this Saturday evening from 6pm onwards.
There are still a few seats left and for R150, each patron can relish a delectable dinner and entertainment, and witness the very first Mr and Miss Child Welfare contest. The competition is NOT a beauty contest.
Emphasis will be on intellectual capacity, as well as the ability to ‘market’ Child Welfare to the community at large. It is common knowledge that the yeoman services rendered by Child Welfare need to be acknowledged and appreciated. It is also a known fact that the doors of Child Welfare are tapped when a particular problem reaches a “beyond repair” state.
Yet that problem could have been nipped in the bud if Child Welfare was contacted earlier. The counsellors and social workers are qualified, experienced and skilled to handle critical cases in a professional manner.
Furthermore, confidentiality is never compromised.
It is an agency that performs admirably under difficult and challenging circumstances, but its record of positive resolutions speaks for itself.
The local chapter of Child Welfare renders superlative services to all sectors of our community, irrespective of race, colour, creed or political persuasion. But (a BIG but) its milestones and the widening parameters of its service delivery need to be promoted.
The title of Mr or Miss Child Welfare will obviously enhance the quality of a curriculum vitae.
It, in itself, will convey to an educational institution or prospective employer that the candidate can shoulder responsibility and is concerned about uplifting the quality of life of the less fortunate.
Undoubtedly, the 58-year-old Ladysmith Child Welfare will redefine its role in our area and carve yet another niche at the Crown Hotel on Saturday night. Be there!
