“It was definitely a love experience” – Solange Sinclair
Miss World Jamaica, Solange Sinclair expressed to the media that she was excited to interact with the children and it was a “love experience” for her.
She expressed, “It was definitely a beautiful thing to interact with the children and paint with them and to see the classroom where they learnt. It definitely brings you back to your own childhood because they are so light, vibrant, warm and welcoming. It was definitely a love experience and seeing the devastation, it’s heartbreaking.”
“They do deserve a place where they can learn, grow & live a better life” – Manushi Chhillar
Meanwhile, Miss World 2017, Manushi Chhillar disclosed that being with the children was very personal for her because as a child she loved to paint and she believes that the students deserve somewhere that they can call their own once again.
“The first interaction was very personal to me because I myself in school used to paint a lot and to relive those memories with those children. The boy I was painting with he wrote 'home' and I said let's paint 'British Virgin Islands' because it absolutely captivated me with its beauty and to know how eager they were to learn and how excited they were to see us tell us how much they do deserve a place they can learn, grow and live a better life,” expressed Ms Chhillar.
"The students are warm & welcoming"- Kadia Turnbull
Miss World BVI 2016, Kadia Turnbull, who is supporting the project as well, stated that the children are very “warm and welcoming”, adding that she is looking forward to them getting back their own space.
“I’m looking forward to the kids actually getting back to a familiar space and, being with the Miss World BVI committee, we do not only work on our individual ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ platform, we also endorse past queens. They are very warm and welcoming and I think they deserve a warm and welcoming home again. It’s great to be a part of it and it is something we should encourage our community to endorse,” she said.

Let this be a reminder that beauty contests have much more scope than bathing suits and evening clothes, our women can and are productive and able to lead the way in recovery.
