The Den Amstel Dynamic Network in its bid to foster togetherness and overall empowerment of youth in the community has started a movement to acknowledge exceptional growth and resilience.
As such, the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) has planned a Mr and Ms Den Amstel Emancipation Pageant slated for the Den Amstel Community Centre on Saturday, August 11.
The theme for this year’s pageant is “Endearingly Cultured”. The theme was birthed out of the Network’s vision to nurture youth within the community along the path of health, culture, education and self-confidence.
This is the second year of promoting female empowerment through pageantry; however, the understated need for males to be empowered was factored into this year’s celebration; hence, five male contenders now compete for the honour of being called Mr Den Amstel Emancipation.
The participants represent a vast cross-section of society. The youngest contender this year is a 14-year- old, because it is never too early to get on the path of success and positively impact lives. Several of the contestants are recognised professionals within their various fields of practice and some of them are very familiar with international pageantry and its benefits.
The Network’s committee comprises youths and young adults who envision a progressive community and expend resources to achieve same. Hard work, passion and integrity are the tools used on their mission to improve the society they call home. Tickets for the pageant cost $500.
