Bio:

TASH’S LIFE IN A NUTSHELL: I attended a Christian School up to Grade 11 and finished my Grade 12 year in a government school where I obtained my National Senior Certificate. During my schooling years I also attended a Deportment and Modelling School where I obtained diplomas in Deportment, Image Building and Pageantry. Among being a finalist and placing in pageants, my biggest achievement was winning Model of the Year for 3 consecutive years (2004-2005). After leaving school, I started to travel to different countries. During this time I found a niche market and I am now currently busy setting up a Pageant Academy abroad. I envision my business to be a premiere one stop professional Deportment, Modelling and Pageantry academy. My mission is to boost my students self image and confidence levels to greater height by giving the best possible tuition and produce world class beauty queens who will not only launch a professional modelling career, but strive to make a difference in their communities and be a committed ambassador for their country.

Humanitarian Advocacy:

Oprah Winfrey once said: “Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my truest intention? Give yourself time to let a yes resound within you. When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.” Well - a “yes” resounded within me and I felt it. I am conscious about the responsibilities & challenges ahead and when I think about what I will do for humanity and my causes, nothing will beat the euphoria of knowing that I inspired, motivated, encouraged and possibly saved someone in need. This is my truest intention.

When asked what I feel South Africa needs most, I would have to say “Stepping stones.” In South Africa we often lack the opportunities for people to get from where they are now, to a better life. They need opportunities such as education, nutrition, and medical services. Through educating both the people, we are trying to uplift, and the rest of the world through AWARENESS
- I hope to bridge the gap, and be the stepping stone that SA needs. I hope to accomplish this by
working through established foundations and focusing on two different areas, both of which carry huge passion and personal motivation for me.

As part of my Humanitarian Advocacy I have teamed up with Nourish. NOURISH is a South African Non-Profit Organisation dedicated to uplifting local communities, promoting social responsibility, and encouraging environmental education. Nourish strives to improve the lives of people and the environment. From assisting AIDS orphanages with core needs such as food, or clothing, to creating awareness to travellers, to “greening” rural communities - I am heart and soul involved with the work that Nourish is doing! For more information please visit http://www.nourish.org.za/

The other focus which I have, as a passionate and proud South African humanitarian, is that of creating awareness for the lack of health care, awareness and funding when it comes to two illnesses; Cystic Fibrosis and Hydrocephalus. These are issues very close to my heart as I have seen firsthand the effects of these illnesses. Since the cost of treatment is often beyond the reach of the poorer communities in developing countries many people, especially infants may die.
For this reason, this is a cause that I choose to use my voice to bring attention to.

While my two causes and passions may seem varied; in truth they aren’t. My heart lies within Africa, and for the beautiful people that make up my country. People’s needs are sometimes more than meets the eye, and that’s why I choose to be an advocate in supporting charities and organisations that try to meet these needs, whether it be medical, mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, or environmental.

Miss Humanity International 2011 Contestant - Miss Philippines, Czarina Gatbonton

Profile Info

Country: Republic of the Philippines
Age: 20 years
Height: 172.70 cm
Occupation: Student
Horoscope: Scorpio

Philosophy:

Success is not only about doing the things you think you can do but rather doing the things people believe that you can accomplish.

Hobbies:
Travelling, Playing Basketball, Volleyball, Table Tennis, Badminton, Swimming, Wakeboarding, Ziplining

Bio:

Poverty oftentimes is perceived as a weakness and a disadvantage but in the case of this nutmeg colored beauty who was born and raised in a small fishing island community in the historical province of Bulacan, north of the Philippines, it has turned out to be her strength and power. Growing up knowing the meaning of hardship which means at times not having enough food to go around the table, taking a thirty minute motorboat ride daily to school that gets worst during rainy days, when she would go to her classrooms in a drenched school uniform, forced to sleep over at a friend’s house when she would miss the last boat trip back to the island and wear the same clothes to school the next day, it’s amazing how this Filipina beauty managed to remain optimistic and cheerful.

Czarina Catherine Gatbonton may not have been born with a silver spoon on the table, but she is indeed destined to be a Beauty Queen. Czarina’s fate started to dawn on her when she was proclaimed Bb. Pilipinas World 2010 (Miss Philippines World) which earned her the right to represent the country in the Miss World pageant in China last year. Though her victory that night came as a big surprise to many people who expected the highly-favored fair-skinned, highly-educated candidates from affluent families to win, Czarina with her naturally endearing personality, a set of dazzling pearly whites, charm, and a perfect sweet infectious smile that can take away one’s breath eventually won their hearts over. So amidst the strain on the relations between China and the Philippines that time, she bravely went on and even became closest to the Chinese delegate and ranked second favored to win the crown in a local Chinese poll.

For this twenty year old epitome of a true Filipina beauty, success is not always about doing the things you think you can do but rather doing the things people say you can’t do. She takes pride being able to fulfill a promise she made to her fisherman father and a social worker mother to send her younger brother to school as her passion and dedication towards helping children and young women continues. During her free time, she helps her mother teach young children in the island’s Day Care Center, regularly volunteers for various socio-civic organizations such as “The Child House Foundation” and graciously give free trainings to young Filipina women who dream of becoming a beauty queen.

Her quest for the Miss Humanity International crown is a quest not for herself and family, but for the thousands and millions of people she can possibly help working with the Miss Humanity family, World Health Organization, UNICEF and various foundations and institutions in the Philippines and abroad.

Humanitarian Advocacy:

Children Rights20

The future of humanity belongs to the young children of the world. Thus Czarina wants to involve in various programs and projects that espouses Children Rights as enshrined in the United Nations Convention on The Rights of the Child (UN CRC). Given the chance, she would like to focus on programs that promote the four Basic Rights of the child which is Survival, Protection, Development and Participation.

Born out of poverty, Czarina herself had endured the hardship and misery that most of the less fortunate children of the world have been experiencing today. But with sheer determination, hard work, perseverance, faith and help of other people who believed in her, she was able to rise from apathy and misery and emerged victorious.

Her life story is truly an inspiration to other young people that anything is possible and that dreams really come true. A true Beauty Queen dedicated to good cause for humanity, Czarina is now an active volunteer of Child Hauz, an organization that attends to the needs of children afflicted with cancer. She is now currently forging Networks and Coordination to local NGO's with worldwide affiliations to further strengthen her advocacy on Children's Rights and Development as she continues

Ambitions:

I have to use every opportunity presented to me to advocate for peace not only in Kenya but all of Africa. I wish to become the first Miss Humanity International and Peace Ambassador using this as a platform which will enable me to form alliances with Charitable non-profit organizations such as Fashion for Relief in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania and Kenya's Fashion For Peace which are campaigns that spread love and peace through fashion. As a peace ambassador I will brighten the faces of orphaned children in Kenya by involving them with my annual Simbaress Fashion for Love Event.

Finalist in Face of Africa 2009 - 2010 Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa & Nigeria
1st Runner's Up at Ford SuperModel Search (Catwalk Kenya) 2007

Humanitarian Advocacy:

: PEACE IN KENYA
It is disheartening to say that the people in my country have been the victims of the effects of political warfare. This has led to high increases of orphaned & disabled children. For my advocacy in working towards peace in my country I've joined three organization Kenya's Rotary Club at the Rally for Children with Special Needs, Wangige Children Home and Bila Ukabila... Which is Swahili for Without Tribalism/nepotism- It was formed by colleagues after the post election violence in Kenya.

I love children and how innocent they are, it hurts me to see a child suffer or being left out by their parents. Universally everyone loves children, but not all the children in the world are happy. Some of the kids in the orphanage were abandoned by their parents, they are not really orphans. The children with special needs, some are mentally handicapped and others physically handicapped :-( I like spending time with them, bringing food and snacks, having a play day with them. During my third year of university, my friends and I went to the Wangige children's homes, cleaned their little hostels, gave them clothes we bought at the flee market and i even braided the girls' hair! It was so much fun to see the kids happy and having a good time.

By highlighting all these causes, I believe that the Kenyan society would become selfless and think of the children with special needs, the orphans and even be positive in terms of letting go off the hatred that was brought by the post election violence. Different ethnic groups went against each other all because of politics and many people lost their lives and homes. That was saddening. We travelled with my family up country to go and vote with my grandmother and when we were travelling back to the city most houses had been burnt down to the ground! Dominant ethnic groups in certain areas turned against the minority groups all because of politics.

By promoting peace in Kenya as a cause, highlighting that the past should never be repeated in the face of 2012 elections is also something I would like to be involved in that is why I have joined the Bila Ukabila intiative as one of the Peace Ambassadors.

Occupation: Student & Model
Horoscope: Capricorn

Hobbies:

Reading, School, Travel, Work Out (Run,Gym,Aerobics), Languages, Exploring Cultures, My Family & Friends. Salsa teacher - I teach Teenagers how to dance Salsa :)!

Bio:

From the age of 16, I wanted to be a pediatric nurse. My love for children led me to work towards an Internship. There were children from all around the world. One child from Africa was nine years old and had both his legs amputated due to an accident in the country of his birth. It was heart-wrenching to see him like that because he kept saying " I love to play soccer and now I cant play it anymore...." I tried my best to remain strong and to not show him how sad I felt for him. He needed someone to encourage him that life can still be enjoyed even with his disability. I took him out to the city and showed him places around the hospital.

At the end of his treatment the child was happy, smiling and just like any child should be he was fearless! This is one of the many situations that I encountered many of them were unethical which made me decide to stop working at the hospital. I could no longer endure the harsh treatments that some of the nurses administered to the children. I tried to speak to the director of the hospital but being only a 16 year old female I was ignored and not taken seriously. I studied medicine for three years while working at the hospital in the city where I lived but I lost my passion because patients were not getting the care that they deserved.

My life went in a new direction after that I began studying Spanish, English and German which led me to move to Teneriffa, Spain where I worked as a secretary in a hotel for three months. After that stint I moved to Germany to pursue a degree in International Business and I currently work as a model. I have participated in Miss Galaxy 2009 where I placed in the top three finalists, Miss Friendship International 2010 where I was first runner up and dubbed Miss Disco Queen and Miss Queen of the World 2010 where I placed in the top ten.

When my studies are completed it is my intention to become an entrepreneur working with people from foreign countries who live in Germany by educating them about their legal rights and teaching them how to lead successful careers in a foreign country.

Humanitarian Advocacy:

Being Cuban by birth I know too well the disadvantage of not being able to make my own decisions. The ability to acknowledge human rights is not accepted...it is sad to say this but my people - CUBANS- that still live in Cuba have to live under a regime that dictates their way of life.

Life is hard....often children do not go to school because they have to work to help out their families. I am very ecstatic to know that there is FINALLY a pageant that focuses on important issues not only beautiful women but women who have a passion for Human Rights around the world. Now I am in a position for my voice to be heard. This pageant can bring about change in a positive way.

Miss Humanity International 2011 Contestant - Miss Antigua and Barbuda , Netisha Alie

Profile Info

Country: Antigua and Barbuda
Age: 23 years
Height: 170.20 cm
Occupation: Teacher
Horoscope: Pisces

Philosophy:

Life is an ongoing process filled with opposites that are vital to create balance and give worth to our existence. Even from creation,light was brought to "level out darkness". In order for individuals to have lived to their full potential , they would need to encounter a full range of experiences; from the good to the bad and the ups and downs. Nothing in life happens without an equal and opposite result. No one person can confess that he has always been happy or has always been sad. When we are happy we should expect a sad moment to follow and vice versa as these emotions, like everything else we encounter in life, occur to create balance and stability in our universe. Our minds are very powerful and are our greatest resource. Once we know how to control it, everything else becomes its tool. However, there is a greater being that is above it, giving it a more wholesome direction. That is why in life, various cultures find different mediums to connect to this higher being which in my cultural orientation we refer to as God. Hence, towards such supremacy we give reverence, glory and worship as we recognise that compared to this higher power, we are but weak.

Hobbies: swimming, dancing and modeling.

Bio:

Netisha Alie was born in 1988 in the Caribbean island of Dominica. She is the daughter of a crop farmer and a home health care aid worker. Netisha spent her early years in Dominica where she was raised in the countryside in a village called Petite Soufriere.

Alie attended primary and secondary school in a nearby community. Her childhood was an over protective one and even though under intense parental pressure, she managed to be a leader and a role model to many of her younger friends and would often help them with their homework and offer advice. Growing up, she was also actively involved in church and school; partaking in youth groups, drama and debate clubs, student counsels and choirs.

Trained to live life cautiously, Netisha full of ambition, moved on to attend college and earned her Associate Degree in Psychology & Sociology at the age of eighteen. She then moved to the neighbouring island of Antigua in search of job opportunities. Due to her extreme love and care for others, particularly children, Netisha became a primary school teacher and has been in this role ever since. She is known for her kindness, enthusiasm and good rapport with students, parents and co-workers.

Netisha finds inspiration from her students' achievements and surrounds herself with positive friends. Apart from being a dedicated teacher, she also volunteers her time to help at the Hope Tree Foundation, (home for abandon children). With these efforts, she hopes to make her contribution to society by targeting its future; the children. Netisha intends to further her education and is currently enrolled as a student at The University College Of The Caribbean, Jamaica.

Upon completion of University, Netisha plans to start a charitable organization whose goal is to provide a safe and constructive place for neglected children.

If she wins this competition, she will use the exposure gained to help gain further support to develop this charity in the Caribbean at large and would be pleased to have made her mark in society.

Humanitarian Advocacy:

I chose to highlight neglected children, especially those by parents who may have to work more than one job to make ends meet. There are also those parents who would rather do everything else but raise a child.

I chose this cause because I have witnessed its devastating effects on children and I would very much like to take a stand and help with the education and information in the wider society about this. Four main socialization groups - the family, religion, school and society, raise children. Should any of these groups fail to provide its responsibilities, especially the family other factors will take its role.

When a child is abandoned by its main source of socialization, which is the family, it looks to other sources to fill the void. With no parents to provide directions, society and all its ailments are now left with one more open and curious mind to feed and with the rapid increase in technology nothing is hidden. Children need parents to guide them as to what is right from wrong. Being exposed to 'the big bad world' alone there is a 50/50 chance that they will be embedded by the negative as well as the positive.

By highlighting this issue one that many seem not to notice, I hope to contribute towards the decrease in a criminal society and to provide direction for these children along with increased attention about the situation so that it can be curbed.
