Miss World Megan Young is living up to her title’s slogan: Beauty With A Purpose.
The 2013 winner has been participating in fundraisers and granting media interviews (watch her in ABC’s Good Morning America) to raise awareness about the disaster that was super typhoon Yolanda. She will be flying to one of the worst-hit areas, Tacloban, on Nov 27.
She has been there before, in her previous life in showbiz. “And it’s going to be different from what I remember,” she tells Associated Press. “I don’t know if I’m emotionally prepared yet for that, but it doesn’t matter. I’m just going there to see what I can do. Just thinking about it really breaks my heart.”
“We are headed back on the 27th to the Philippines,” she reveals in the video interview. “From fundraisers that we have been doing in New York, New Jersey and in LA, we are giving 100 percent of that to Tacloban.”
