Miss World arrives in Ghana ahead of 2019 Miss Ghana Finale

Miss World 2018 Vanessa Ponce de Leon has arrived in Ghana to grace this year’s Miss Ghana finale slated for Saturday, July 6, 2019.

The world reigning queen came to Ghana on Tuesday, July 2, 2019, with her team comprising the Chairwoman of Miss World Organisation, Julia Morley.

The visit forms part of efforts to support the Miss Ghana brand and Miss Ghana Foundation on its social intervention projects.

These projects include the educational project at Don Bosco Technical & Vocational Training Institute in Ashaiman, provision of water project in Nabuli in the Gushegu District of the Northern Region and health-help cover cost of surgery for children suffering from scoliosis at the FOCOS Hospital.

In an interview with Citi News, Vanessa said she was happy to be part of this year’s Miss Ghana ceremony and was ready to support the cause.

“I have been told that the level of Miss Ghana has been elevated and all these girls are just committed to their causes. They are intelligent, they have careers. They have been preparing for many months. So expect a good competition,” she said.

The Chief Executive Officer of Exclusive Events Ghana, Inna Mariam Patty also stated that this year’s edition of the pageant promises to be improved version of the previous ones.

“When it comes to talent, this year you will be wowed. Indeed Ghanaian women are very talented and when it comes to performances we’ve got original ‘Made in Ghana’ man Okyeame Kwame, leading the pack,” Inna noted.
