Miss Suva Candace Veramu believes that when one is able to take charge of their health and wellness one is able to create a conducive environment to work and live and this ties in well with the theme of Climate Change.
The 20-year-old graphic and fashion designer says that the Miss Fiji pageant has toughened her and she encourages young people to be confident in themselves as this can have a positive effect on people around them.
Veramu has also urged people to come out in numbers and be part of the TFL Miss Fiji Pageant at Thurston Gardens to support the 11 Queens who are representing municipalities and vying for the Miss Fiji Crown.
Meanwhile, Miss Ovalau Eka Buadromo won the Best Sarong at the first public judging last night.
The contestants Talent Night will be held at 7 tonight at the Fiji Museum stage.
Miss Fiji will be crowned at 7pm this Saturday.
She will then take part in the upcoming Miss Pacific Islands Pageant in December in Nadi.
