Kefentse Gokganwang, the founder and director of Miss Little Districts pageantry is bringing another beauty competition to the country dubbed Little Model Earth Botswana on November 11, 2017.
In an interview with Showbiz, Gokganwang said she decided to bring this international competition to the country because she wanted to give youngsters international exposure.
“This competition will give children an opportunity to grow their talent. They will get an opportunity to meet with other talented children from different countries across the world. Such beauty competitions also bring children with different talents, personalities and character under one roof. They can also have an opportunity to learn about other cultures,” she said.
Gokganwang added that Model Earth competition would positively impact the life of youngsters and could inspire them to improve their talents. She explained that the competition is targeting children from both genders from four to 17 years.
She also pointed out that during the competition, they would select finalists who would represent Botswana at Little Model Earth 2018 Children’s Festival that would be held at Cape Town in South Africa from December 2 to 9 next year.
“I was excited when I was given the Little Model Earth licence because I knew it would not only give our children an opportunity to showcase their talents on an international platform but would also put my country on the map. Little Model Earth is a international children’s festival pageant which was founded with the idea of popularisation of children and teenagers talents, presentation of national cultures on national level,” she said.
She added that the primary goals of the pageantry is to assemble gifted participates from all over the world to contribute to perfection and self-esteem of young talents and models skills and assist on the development of the international relations.
Gokganwang said the main objective of the pageantry committee is to create atmosphere of friendship and kindness to help children understand each other, to promote self-improvement and self-esteem of those young models being amateur and professionals and talents.
“Each contestant should have high spiritual culture, rich internal world, must be diplomatic and a good example for other delegates. All delegates of the pageant are talented, vigorous, smart, ingenuous girls and boys from different countries of the world. One major purpose of this pageant is to build up a strong friendship with all the delegates regardless of their nationality, language, religion, customs and traditions,” she noted.
She added that the competition would also give participants good experience that would remain part of them forever. She said that would help them to become ambassadors of goodwill and true champions of service to charity organisations. She said registration for the competition would commence on September 8, 2017.
“Other international licences I got include Little Miss and Mister World, Little King and Queen, Little Prince and Princess and Family of The World. I am happy that through these pageants I would be able to groom our youngsters’ talents and expose them to the international pageantry platforms, which would be good for their profiles when they grow up. These kind of pageants also help groom our children into responsible future adults,” she said.
