10 contestants join Kaiane Aldorino in Relief Project

Accompanied by ten contestants specially chosen for the ocassion, reigning Miss World Kaiane Aldorino took much needed aid relief to some of the people most affected by the recent rainfall on Hainan island.

The home to Miss World in China for many years and host to this year’s 60th anniversary Final, the tropical island paradise of Hainan has seen the worst rainfall for decades with floods resulting in homes being destroyed and even loss of life.

The contestants visited the grief-stricken town of Yinggen, the third largest area in the Hainan province, said to be the poorest region, with a population of just 216,000. They heard Mayor Wang tell of how 12 families living downstream were rescued that day from their homes that had already been destroyed by the floods. Still more wait for urgent relief from rescue services.

Joining Miss World to hand out the first batch of relief supplies were Scotland, United States, China PR, France, Slovakia, Russia, Australia, Vietnam, Venezuela and Botswana. Together they started the distribution of ten tonnes of rice and five tonnes of cooking oil to some of the families and individuals most affected. Today’s relief, including a cheque for 300,000 RMB, was supported by the RAAS Group who work to produce and distribute blood antigens. Courtesy MissWorld.com
