The encampment period of the Miss World Guyana 2017 competition has begun. This year, the 10 finalists are being housed and hosted by Windsor Estates; a premium residential community conveniently located minutes away from the Providence National Stadium, on the East Bank of Demerara.
Kissoon Modern Industries Limited provided the house furnishings – the one-stop shop for everyone’s home and office needs. Groceries are being provided by Massy Supermarket, whose motto is “our Family Serving Your Family”. With the help of these supporting entities and others, the organisers of the pageant hope to enhance the journey of the finalists for this first ever Miss World Guyana encampment.
Last Saturday, the 10 regional ambassadors officially took up residence and were greeted by a ‘Welcome to Windsor Meet and Greet’ with the residence of this upscale community.
The residents not only came out to support the delegates but to freely share words of advice and guidance about personal development and their journey towards self-exploration. Sueria Manufacturing was also along to share the daily cocktail with the residents.
During the encampment period, the finalists will focus on building the bonds of sisterhood, exchanging ideas, planning for the future along with scheduled sessions for empowering women on lifestyle choices, styling, makeup training, change, meditation, poise/catwalk training, etc.

Remaining challenge areas are the Space Gym Sports and Fitness Challenge being held at the National Park on June 14, with admission being free.

The Beauty with a Purpose Fair will be held on Main Street, Georgetown, on June 23, where the finalists will have their projects on display as they focus on fundraising, using GTT’s text to vote system.
