One aspect of my country that makes me particularly proud is the benefits enjoyed by the children in our multicultural environment. During the last several years, the Turks and Caicos has experienced extreme rapid growth, both in the development of land, and the development of population that is quite large for the size of the country. Twenty years ago the population here was approximately 5000 people, now the population is approximately 40,000 people from over 66 countries. These people have migrated here from all over the world. This has lead to a population of children who have been influenced by many different cultures and languages.

Three of the most spoken languages here in the Turks and Caicos besides English, are French, Spanish, and Creole.

Age: 24 Profession: Behaviour Therapist
Despite its small size, Singapore plays a crucial role in the world economy. First, we hold one of the best airports and seaports internationally. This allows Singapore to deal with a whole host of traders. Secondly, with our multi-racial and multi-cultural society, we are all well-equipped at handling businesses from all over the world because of our deep understanding and respect for different cultures and traditions. With advanced technology and our efficient networks, we have the potential to become forerunners in research and development fields.

UNEARTHED FACT: I went to China for a community project and our group stayed on a farm for almost a week and lived a simple life. We even went to work in the peanut farms.

My great country, Pakistan, literally, â€œthe land of purity,â€ was created by a man named Mohammad Ali Jinnah based on the principles of equality and acceptance of all kinds. Jinnah believed in the notion of â€œlive and let live.â€ Pakistan is a great example of a modern Islamic state. All religions thrive and exist in Pakistan, such as Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, the aboriginal Kalash, and Muslims, for example. The culture is rich and colorful, with millennia of history, such as the great Mughal empire based in Lahore, the city of my forefathers. Another very popular item native to Pakistan is our food, rich and delicious. As Miss Pakistan World, I aim to promote the side of Pakistan the media doesnâ€™t portray, the real Pakistan.

Sexy Shriya Kishore

Miss INDIA SHRIYA KISHORE
Age: 23 Profession: Model
It is the vibrancy and effectiveness of the Indian democracy that has allowed these Indias to co-exist peacefully. The Indian nation stands for a unique brand of multiculturalism and tolerance that strings people of assorted religious belief into a fine fabric of a secular polity.

Today, rural India flourishes in the green fields of prosperity and hope, the saplings of which are soaked by the sweat and toil of our agriculturists, the backbone of our stability; while a restless â€œurban Indiaâ€ is simultaneously being powered by the professionalism and efficiency of those who hunger for corporate excellence. Together, they are making India one of the most investor friendly nations in the world. Our growing markets and our excellent human resources are attracting entrepreneurs from across the globe. It is no surprise then that everyone wants to do business with India.

While Indian cities continue to be spruced up with modern infrastructural facilities, we continue to offer to the world, the most exotic sights and sounds. The virgin landscapes of the North East or the estates in Kerala, the opulent Taj Mahal and the majestic palaces of Rajasthan or the intricate carvings on the temple walls of Hampi in Karnataka, the rich Nawabi delicacies of Lucknow or the fastfood joints that line up the narrow streets of Chandni Chowk in old Delhi- all these offer a slice of what we call â€œIncredible India.â€

This is to have succeeded.â€

Living in Englandâ€™s capital of London I am proud to witness on a daily basis that England is home to every race, colour, and creed. We welcome everyone with open arms and thus have a fruitful and diverse culture across the country. For these reasons in terms of living in England I can promote that there is vast opportunity here; regardless of economical situation or cultural background. Many people who visit England only see London the capital which is only part of our beautiful country. Beyond Londonâ€™s borders there are national parks with beautiful scenery, quaint villages with interesting people, and history that comes alive through wonderful attractions.

In relation to the environment, I am proud to say that England has a government with departments dedicated to environmental credentials. There are recycling facilities across the country, advertising campaigns to encourage a greener lifestyle, and the use of public transport is on the rise. A more recent example of this is the now prohibited sale of non-energy saving light bulbs. This just goes to show that work is continually taking place within England to ensure a greener future. For these reasons I can promote that England is keen to better their environmental prospects.
UNEARTHED FACT: When I was traveling in Tunisia, I rode a camel into the Sahara desert to watch the millennium eclipse. The view was spectacular and it was truly an experience of a lifetime.
I SAY: Success is a reward for hard work while failure is an encouragement to try harder next time.

Miss COSTA RICA MALENA OROZCO SOLANO
Age: 22 Profession: Medical Assistant
According to New Economics Foundation we are ranked as the happiest country in the world. Also we are ranked as first in press freedom in Latin America by Reporter Without Borders and 5th in Human Development Index for Latin America according to United Nations Development Programme.

I am proud of the beautiful exuberant Costa Rican nature that contains almost 5% of worldâ€™s biodiversity. We have laws to protect endangered species. One must-visit in our country is the Chirripo hill, the highest mountain in Costa Rica where you can see clues of ancient times where the glaciers used to cover this mountain top. Aside from our beautiful beaches, jungles and mountains, another treasure we keep is the Cocoâ€™s Island, internationally famous for being the habitat of species like the endangered Hammerhead shark, dolphins and giant mantas that live freely out of the reach of hunters.

We embrace all kind of cultures and we love to learn from people all around the world.
UNEARTHED FACT: I was able to skydive when I was in Colombiaâ€™s Reinado Internacional del Joropo beauty contest.
I SAY: Failure is an opportunity to learn while success is something I embrace and enjoy. I always thank God for these experiences.
