Charity Queen Jayde
Duty beckons the Beauty
She believes in giving than receiving and Jayde Crystal Wright’s pageant title
probably suits her well. The Charity Queen 2016 embarks on a mission of loving
and giving this Christmas in the Philippines.
“When I go back to the Philippines this Christmas, I plan
to be a Charity Santa and give presents to children less
fortunate who deserve a happy Christmas like we all do. I
will give them clothes, toys and possibly share my favourite
puto bumbong!” Jayde says about her upcoming Christmas
holiday in her mother’s hometown in Puerto Galera.
“I know that my work is definitely helping the country
that means most to me which is both the Philippines and
Australia. Ending world hunger is something that is close to
my heart in which I am very passionate about. I believe no
human should go to bed hungry or thirsty.”
“Christmas to me is a time for giving rather than
receiving. It’s a time to remember others less fortunate than
ourselves and to give back to those in need.”
She has been preparing for her trip including polishing
more of her Tagalog with the help of her lovely mum Cathy

“The minute I became Miss Charity Queen Australia, I
thought to myself, how can I use this title to my advantage
to really make a difference in this world?” she says.
“A week after being crowned, Angela (Miss PhilippinesAustralia) and I were invited by our president Lolita

in association with UNICEF Australia. A few days later I
applied for a role with UNICEF and I can proudly say I’ve
been working with them for over a month now, promoting
awareness about child rights and protection.”

my goals of helping those less fortunate, I wish that people
will stop focusing on themselves and the small issues in life
and to start looking at the bigger picture and the bigger
problems in our world so that we as a community can help
