Laura Lehmann in a five-way tie for "Beauty With A Purpose" competition

The Philippines wins an important distinction at Miss World 2017!

Laura Lehmann's advocacy of supporting a milk bank for a pediatric ward in a hospital in Manila will be one of the beneficiaries of the Beauty with a Purpose program, along with the projects of the representatives from India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Vietnam.

The Miss World's Beauty with a Purpose competition highlights the charity projects the contestants are passionate about.

Lehmann, in a video about her advocacy, describes her five-year plan to help the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center with a focus on helping babies whose mothers do not produce enough milk, but who also cannot afford to buy pasteurized milk. — AT/LA, GMA News
