Who run the world? Girls

International Woman's Day's on the 8th March and woman everywhere were making sure everyone knew! This day is actually in aid of Oxfam to help woman in poverty gain better life chances than what they have before. For example,
£29 can provide training for a female farmer enabling her to feed her family.
£310 can train 10 traditional birth attendants in Ghana with potentially life-saving skills.
£500 can recruit around 6000 'Change Makers' in Pakistan to help change attitudes to help stop violence against women!

Myself, Miss Swindon and Miss Wiltshire Galaxy were invited to help at the Royal Wootton Bassett fundraiser for International Woman's Day, ran by Ellen Woollaston-Cooper who done an AMAZING job! I was lucky enough to help last year at her first fundraiser for International Woman's Day in RWB, and this time she went even bigger! The raffle prizes were amazing (no winner again, never lucky on raffles!) and there was alot of pampering and gift ideas, perfect for upcoming mother's day! Myself, Georgia and Ela were at hand to sell raffle tickets and give out the goodie bags, with one lucky person getting a special goodie bag containing a free massage and delish chocolates! Very jealous! There was also a talk about the Charity, "Coppafeel" which is making sure that woman regularly check their breasts for signs of breast cancer. You can never be too sure! They also gave these "handy" stickers out which we sported.

I can't wait to here how much has been raised! So the PERFECT finals are literally next week, less than 7 days! Booked the hotel room and fingers crossed my evening gown will be here in time or i'll be calling on my Ruth who has the most amazing pageant dresses!! Speaking of pageant friends, Miss Swindon 2012 is organising a charity music event at the MECA in aid of Beauty With A Purpose- https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152635785740611&set=oa.495079993861978&type=1&theater#!/events/490085511055730/which of course all of us Wiltshire Beauty Queens will be there! I already have my V.I.P ticket and it's not one to be missed! Live music, cocktails, food, circus acts, dancers and many more, so proud of my fellow Miss Swindon organising a fab event!

End of the month is payday so no excuses! See you there!! :)
