AS newly minted Miss World Guyana queen, Vena Mookram continues her “Beauty With a Purpose” platform, the 18-year-old is set to launch her “Sweet Vigor” campaign, which will focus on bringing awareness to Diabetes Prevention.

The multi-million-dollar campaign is set to be launched this morning at the Cara Lodge on downtown Quamina Street.
During her run as a delegate, Mookram’s “Beauty With a Purpose” platform was “Promoting Physical Fitness and Nutrition” vis-à-vis the prevention of chronic diseases.
Her project specifically focuses on developing a healthy diet and physical lifestyle in order to prevent these diseases.  She has already started, and promises to continue executing events, and bringing about awareness to her purpose in order to benefit her community and country as a whole. Her aim is to reduce the number of persons with chronic diseases in Guyana.

Mookram is particularly concerned about the prevention of diabetes, as it is something that has affected her family personally.
The former Bishop’s student and the rest of the Miss World Guyana Organisation is now looking forward to the support of the public at large and partners in promoting the “Sweet Vigor” project.
The campaign forms part of the “Diabetes Prevention through Diet and Exercise” Beauty with a Purpose project for the Miss World 2017 competition.
“The objective of the campaign is to educate the general public about how to prevent and treat diabetes through healthy eating and being physically active,” the Miss World Guyana Organisation says in a press release. “The team will highlight the benefits and importance of being tested early for diabetes and give guidelines that would help everyone. The campaign strongly believes that by educating persons, especially our youths, about diabetes, it will give them control over the disease and some peace of mind,” it added.
Mookram is set to represent Guyana on the international scene later this year when the Miss World Pageant is held on November 18 in China.
