Miss World Philippines Gwendolyne Fourniol shared her personal connection with ERDA Foundation in her advocacy video.
Miss World Philippines Gwendolyne Fourniol is establishing herself as a true Beauty with a Purpose as she debuts her advocacy video on her social media and the Miss World website.
In one of the more recent posts on her Instagram account, Gwendolyne shared a video of her discussing her chosen advocacy -- quality education, which is the United Nation's fourth Sustainable Development Goal. In the video, Gwendolyne shared the story of her mother's experience with the ERDA Foundation, a non-government organization that was founded in 1974 and “envisions a nation where all children and youth have access to quality education and holistic development in a supportive environment for them to have a better life.”
Gwendolyne also stressed in the caption that situations like her mother's happen all over the world, with UNESCO reporting 250 million out-of-school youth worldwide, with 7.9 million children in the Philippines deprived of education. She then called for collective action to address this through “the implementation of appropriate technology, increased investment, and sound policies.”
Gwendolyne's advocacy video debuted on the same day of the Miss World opening ceremony, where she caught attention with her eye-catching national costume. In her Instagram post showcasing the costume, she said that it represents the “Filipina's craft spirit of dignity, growth, and joy” and was inspired by authentic Ilonggo textiles.
Aside from her advocacy video, Gwendolyne also debuted her Miss World introduction video on her Instagram account.
Gwendolyne announced the release of her official headshot on her Instagram account.
Since arriving in India two days ago (Philippine time), Gwendolyne has met her fellow Miss World delegates Yoon theint theint nway of Myanmar, Audrey Vanessa from Indonesia, Priyanka Rani Joshi from Nepal, and Tomiris Kakimova from Kazakhstan.
The Miss World finals is set to happen on March 9, 2024 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India. Gwendolyne was initially set to compete in the Miss World pageant back in December 16, 2023 when it was first scheduled at the ICC Delhi India, but the finals were moved due to elections that were happening in India at the time.
