On Monday 13th, in her role as a goodwill ambassador, Miss West Africa International, Vanny Reis was privileged to have an audience with the President of Cape Verde Jorge Carlos Fonseca to discuss her work and the projects she intends to implement during her reign. She is particular interested in targeting programs for the elderly who, in her words, “are a forgotten society”, and announced at the end of the meeting that she is to “make a survey of households that have elderly occupants, and find out their difficulties and see exactly where we can help,”, and then advancing the agenda further she intends to take visits to several African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, and Gambia, amongst others.
Preceding the discussion with the President, there was also a working meeting with the First Lady, Ligia Fonseca, with a view to discussing collaboration with Miss West Africa on her projects for the elderly.
Vanny will also be talking about these projects, her first 2 months as Miss West Africa, and many more things when she is interviewed on Dolshradio this Friday 17th at 3pm Cape Verde time/11am US time. Look-out for that on Friday as its sure to be great listening.
