As it aims to construct sustainable community centers in underserved areas, the Miss Earth Guyana organization has launched Re-Build.
In fact today, August 14, 2018 marks the official launch of Miss Earth Guyana 2018 Xamiera Kippins’ “Beauty For A Cause” project, Re-BUILD. Kippins’ will be representing Guyana at Miss Earth in November in the Philippines.
Re-BUILD means Recycle, Build, Upcycle and Invest in Lives with Dreams. It is aimed at solving the problem of the improper disposal of non-biodegradable waste through the use of recycling and upcycling which will lead to a positive impact on the environment, community and self-skills of people.
Re-BUILD will commence with the collaboration from Guyana Premier and Everything Makes Craft for a workshop at the La Grange Primary School. The children will be involved in several activities that surround utilizing upcycling in the form of crafts whilst educating them on how they too can be Earth warriors in simple ways. Miss Earth Guyana will also be distributing school supplies to underprivileged children from the West Bank of Demerara area.
There are also a series of other activities planned for Re-BUILD including beach clean – ups, workshops, tree planting exercises and many more. For the Re-BUILD Initiative, waste materials will be collected and used to construct sustainable community centers in underserved areas in Guyana.
Miss Earth, being a pageant that surrounds advocacy for the protection of the environment, gives an award each year to the candidate who makes the most significant environmental contribution.
