Beauty pageant to uplift and boost youth’s self esteem
Mr and Miss Vona Lodge calls on young girls and boys who think they have the x-factor to enter the pageant which will be held at Vona Lodge in Ladanna on 30 September.
POLOKWANE – The registration fee is R250 for the beauty pageant and R150 for singing, dancing and poetry. Contestants must be between the ages of nine and 22 years and bookings for the audition are essential.
According to the event organiser, Raesetja Maja, the aim is to uplift young and aspiring models and to boost their self-esteem.
“This year I just wanted to assist Boitsepo Molabam a wheelchair-bound boy who wanted to pursue his dream of owning a printing and design shop. I also want to empower young girls from the Polokwane area so they can stay out of mischief. We want to empower them and show them it doesn’t matter where you come from, you can still shine,” Raesetja said.
She added the main aim of this event is to raise funds to finance future projects to assist other youths to pursue their dreams and keep them off of the streets and away from substance abuse.
