MISS UNIVERSE 2008:Cheritable Alliances

2008-11-07T03:55:00.001-08:00

Because over 41 million people are living with HIV/AIDS - 47% of them are women and roughly one-third are young people between the ages of 15 and 24; because more than 14,000 people were infected with HIV last year; and because AIDS is the deadliest infectious disease among adults and the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, every MISS UNIVERSE® has the job of traveling the world to speak on behalf of her official cause, HIV/AIDS awareness.

She uses her title to champion HIV/AIDS prevention, particularly among adolescents, and to promote the rights of women and youth to information on family planning and receiving proper sexual and reproductive health care and services. During her reign, Miss Universe will be involved with the Latino Commission on AIDS, Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), Cable Positive, and amfAR among other organizations.

We encourage you to contact any or all of these organizations. By educating yourself about HIV/AIDS, lending a hand and making a donation, you can bring about change.

MISS UNIVERSE history

2008-11-07T03:25:00.000-08:00

Who would have thought that a local "bathing beauty" competition spearheaded by Catalina Swimwear in Long Beach, CA would metamorphose into an international annual tradition with countless young women around the world vying to become Miss Universe? As hundreds of millions of fans have watched in 125 different countries, the homegrown contest has evolved into a powerful, year-round, international organization that advances and supports opportunities for these role models.

Becoming what is now considered Universal royalty is still an obtainable dream for young women more than 50 years later. Today, Miss Universe has become a fixture of pop culture, ingrained in the landscape of our minds.

These women are savvy, goal-oriented and aware. The delegates who become part of the Miss Universe Organization display those characteristics in their everyday lives, both as individuals, who compete with hope of advancing their careers, personal and humanitarian goals, and as women who see to improve the lives of others. Currently, Miss Universe is experiencing a rebirth, playing a critical role in making the next 100 years "The Century of Women."

DAYANA MENDOZA -miss universe 2008

2008-11-07T03:13:00.000-08:00

On July 13, 2008, in front of one billion viewers worldwide, Dayana Mendoza's life changed forever when she was crowned Miss Universe 2008 in Nha Trang, Vietnam. The 22 year-old former Miss Venezuela was born in Caracas and speaks three languages - Spanish, English and Italian.

Dayana Mendoza was discovered at the age of 13 at a local bus stop. Since then, she has gained vast experience in catalogue modeling and has worked with prestigious companies like Max Mara and Costume Nacional. Modeling has allowed Dayana to travel the world, visiting places like New York, Italy, Germany, France, Athens and Spain.

Although Dayana had a successful modeling career, her lifelong ambition is to become either an interior designer or work in the field of advertising. About a year ago, she began taking classes on interior design to help refine her skills. Whenever she enters a room, she can not contain her sudden urge to start rearranging furniture and suggesting color palettes.

Dayana Mendoza was raised in a very close knit family, the result of sharing a two room home with her mother, father, uncle, grandmother and younger sister. She is anxious to start championing the official causes of MISS UNIVERSE®, which include increasing HIV/AIDS awareness by focusing on womenís health and reproductive issues and forging relationships with organizations committed to research and education, including the Latino Commission on AIDS, Global Health Council and God's Love We Deliver.

The Miss Universe Organization, producers of the Miss UNIVERSE®, MISS USA® and MISS TEEN USA® Pageants, is a Donald J. Trump and NBC Universal joint venture.
