Wiandri van Vuuren (16)<\/a> described the evening in one word: \u201cWow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything was amazing, from the decorations to the food, we all felt like royalty,\u201d she explained.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cI was very nervous at the beginning of the evening and was so surprised when I was called up for the three titles,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was voted the winner of Miss Personality by the other finalists, the Lady Gracious SA team, as well as the judges,\u201d explained Lady Gracious SA organiser Suret Str\u00f6h.<\/p>\n

\u201cMiss Style was decided by the judges and Miss Photogenic by the event\u2019s photographers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith each title we give the winner six months to host two events to raise funds for a charity of their choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

This means that Wiandri will have to host six events from January to June next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, at Lady Gracious, will be on hand to help make sure the charity is real and that they need the funds,\u201d Suret said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will also set-up a Facebook page for Wiandri, where people can follow her journey, donate and get involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though Wiandri already has a lot of ideas, she is still researching charities and causes.<\/p>\n

If you have\/know a charity or individual in need email your details to suret@lady-gracious.co.za.<\/p>\n

In addition to the six charity events she will be hosting, Wiandri is also assisting Lady Gracious to fill 200 \u201cBoxes of Joy\u201d.<\/p>\n

These boxes (for R70) will be filled with sweet treats and donated to underprivileged children on December 5.<\/p>\n

For more information email to Suret on suret@lady-gracious.co.za.<\/p>\n

When asked what she\u2019s looking forward to as a Lady Gracious representative, Wiandri said: \u201cThe joy of helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lady Gracious team also stood up against women and children abuse at the Sisters with Blisters protest walk on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The march marks the launch of the annual 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children campaign.<\/p>\n
