Beauty for a Cause - Ms Lanka 2010:

Be a part of the glamour and glitter

by Mahes PERERA

It's the month of June - the month when lovely ladies all over the world are recognised for their beauty, like the June brides who have made a name for themselves in many a leading fashion magazine.

Here in our paradise island the search begins to crown a beauty as Ms. Lanka 2010, and once again Technique International in collaboration with Sunday Observer will go all out to ensure that the contest will be another success story.

So if you are 18 years on June 1 and even if you are married you are invited to send in your application to experience the glitter of a world you dreamed of ever so often.

The closing date is July 14, so hurry up and mail your application today.

Who knows you may be the lucky winner to wear the glittering Ms. Lanka crown and the much admired sash together with many gifts, when the pageant goes on board in October. Or you could win the prestigious title Miss Sunday Observer Queen .

Beauty for a Cause moves into its 16th year and the main objective of this pageant this year is to support the Differently Abled and Under-Privileged for Vocational Training Skills.

This according to the Director Gwendoline Kuhatheva would be a further step toward the challenging of the academic excellence and well roundness of these young people who will be chosen for training.

To achieve their goals the organisation is seeking benevolent financial support for this activity from interested corporate sponsors.

Last year Scholarships were given to five students for NVQ Level 4 and for four students for Management of Hair and Beauty Salons who were deserving of support to complete the National Vocational Qualifications. Students at the November 2009 awards received NVQ and Management certificates.

So keep your applications rolling in and be in the forefront of Beauty for a Cause - Ms. Lanka 2010 and Miss Sunday Observer Queen - two prestigious titles awaiting your participation.
