Miss Earth East Coast joins the relief effort in Burma!

Carleen Ramlochansingh, Miss Earth Trinidad & Tobago and Amaris Acosta, Miss Caraibes Hibiscus United States, in association with Step Up Pageants International are reaching out to the International community to assist with relief efforts in Burma.

The cyclone most devastatingly affected the area of Mayanmar, one of the 20 poorest regions in the world, displacing over 2 Million people with an unconfirmed toll of 100,000 lives. With much of the region cut off from clean water, many more lives may be lost due to the spread of infection.

In light of the recent tragedy, Step Up Pageants International, producers of the Miss Earth East Coast and Miss Earth Trinidad & Tobago Pageants, are dedicating this year's competition to the aid of relief efforts in the region. A portion of this years ticket sales, combined with the fundraising efforts of the delegates themselves, will go directly to assist relief efforts in Myanmar- with an emphasis on providing clean water to the area, which will help prevent the spread of disease. Any business wishing to assist can go to http://stepuppageants.tripod.com and follow the "Cyclone Relief" link.

MISS EARTH ELIMINATES AGRESSIVE FINNISH GIRL

1/3 of this year´s Miss Earth delegates are leaving for Vietnam to spend there four days taking part in various events and activities. Miss Finland Anna Pohtimo will not attend these, as she was asked to leave the pageant reason being her bad and agressive behaviour.

The Czech delegate Eva Čerešňáková says: We all are exhausted but the girls are superb, so we are having much fun. The Finnish girl was weird, everyone thought so. She was proud, wearing her nose up all the time, lazy, never co-operated. She refused to attend most of the activities and even attacked Miss Bahamas and hurt her face. After that she was kicked out."
