DELEGATES of the 2015 Miss Guyana Renaissance Pageant have made a donation of clothing and toiletries to the Palms Geriatric Home.

The delegates explained to the Guyana Chronicle that these items were collectively donated to the Home and related that they are very happy to be involved in such a heart-warming event. This is one of three donations to be made by this group of delegates.
Before the official donation was made, the delegates were seen chatting and mingling with some of the people living at the Home. They explained how this event is an eye-opener to all.
The Seventh (7th ) Ms. Guyana Renaissance Pageant is slated for April 4 at the National Cultural Centre. This pageant caters to the mature, professional Guyanese woman aged 30 years and older. The contestants will compete in the categories of talent, corporate attire, formal wear and a question- and- answer segment to determine the winner.
It also serves as a catalyst to re-educate the public about the value, accomplishment, dignity, leadership skills and cultural awareness of the mature Guyanese woman. This year’s pageant theme is “Rivers”. Each contestant will be focusing on a particular river in Guyana; this aspect requires a lot of research.
Negla Brandis, Executive Director, related that it is the committee’s belief that mature, intellectually stimulating, well- rounded Guyanese women can achieve endless possibilities as they continue to foster harmony, attitude, feelings of patriotism and togetherness. The pageant will also instill confidence and create effective role models, while providing opportunities for sharing and learning about various aspects of Guyana’s history.
She noted too that the organisers of the Ms Guyana Renaissance Pageant remain committed to the preservation and promotion of our rich, diverse culture through the staging of this pageant annually.
