A beauty pageant held recently in Botswana was unique in that all the contestants had hearing impairments. Among the sponsors of the event was the Botswana Association for the Deaf. The pageant is likely to become an annual event, according to a story in Mmegi Online.
Neo Mmipi took home the title of “Queen”, along with a list of prizes including a computer and printer, a home theater and an assortment of jewelry.
Miss VIP Deaf is expected to work as an ambassador for the hearing impaired, participating in events and projects that would help improve the lives of the deaf and hard of hearing throughout the country of Botswana.
