THE ELIMINATIONS and sashing of the finalists in the 'Miss Teen Jamaica 2003' contest will be held at The Waterfalls (old Golden Dragon Building), 9 Mona Plaza, Kingston 6, on Sunday, April 27, starting at 8 p.m.
Last year's winner was 16-year-old Kimberley McLeod (Miss George Mack Fashions), a student at St. Hugh's High School whose ambition is to work in the field of tourism and whose role model has been former Minister of Tourism (now Minister of Local Government, Community Development and Sport) Portia Simpson Miller.
Kimberley says that even after giving up her title this year, she intends to continue working for peace, especially among teenagers.
"Too many people are dying every day. Every night on the news it is just the same thing, somebody dies - children, adults, males, females. It concerns me very much that so many children are involved," she said in an interview with The Gleaner last year.
Sunday night's entertainment will feature Hal Jackson, 'Talented Teen' finalist Ana Strachan, dub poet Sheldon Shepherd and more.
