Miss Guyana Universe Katherina Roshana will host a Charity Night, to raise funds for autistic children at the Pegasus Hotel Wednesday evening.
The evening promises to be a night of entertainment with performances from Apsara and the Nachagana dance troupes, Feed the Flames Band and others. All proceeds will go to the Step by Step Guyana Foundation.
There will also be two auctions and a fashion show. Additionally, ticket holders will also win prizes which include tickets to the Rihanna and R Kelly concerts, Guyana Fashion Week, Apsara’s “An evening of dance, music and fashion”, a gift voucher, compliments of Nanda’s Boutique and several others. Tickets cost $2500 and are available at the Pegasus Hotel front desk; the Feed Shop in Sandy Babb Street, Kitty; Nanda’s Boutique, Camp Street; and King’s Jewellery World, Quamina Street.
Apsara Chief Executive Officer and franchise holder of Miss India World Wide Guyana, Chandini Rambalak is encouraging persons to come out and support this worthy cause, explaining that the Step by Step Foundation is depending on donors for its existence.
“If you do not attend the event, you can make a donation to Step by Step Guyana… a small donation, even if it’s a $1000… it’s for the children,” she encouraged.
She disclosed that Roshana will leave Guyana immediately after the charity event to begin her quest for the Miss Universe 2013 pageant, adding that it is somewhat a goodbye event for her as well. “So persons can come out take photos of her, meet and greet, offer her your wishes and give her any advice you want.”
Rambalak said Roshana is ready for the pageant in Moscow, Russia, on November 9. She is being groomed by a number of experienced trainers. One of Roshana’s personal trainers is Richard Young, a well known Caribbean fashion expert, who was the trainer of former Miss Universe 1998, Trinidadian Wendy Fitzwilliam.
