Miss World 2008 Ksenia Sukhinova and Hoang Kieu, Chairman and General Director of the US-based RAAS group.

VietNamNet Bridge – Hoang Kieu, Chairman and General Director of the US-based RAAS group on February 26 said that Miss World 2008 Ksenia Sukhinova, Miss World 2007 Zhang Zilin and Misses representing five continents will go to Vietnam this June to do charity.

They will join a music show named “Arms of Compassion,” which is jointly organized by RAAS and the Vietnamese Ministry of Health in the Mekong Delta City of Can Tho on June 5, 2009; RAAS – Words of Love on June 7; and a procession on June 9 on Tran Phu Road, under the Nha Trang Sea – Rendezvous Festival (June 5-12 in Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province).

RAAS is holding the copyright to organize the Miss World Vietnam to choose the Vietnamese representative for the international Miss World pageant. RAAS has submitted its detailed plan for the Miss World Vietnam 2009 to the Vietnamese government.

Owing to the new rules on organizing beauty contests in Vietnam, which stipulates that only one national pageant will be held in Vietnam within a year, RAAS planed to organize the Miss World Vietnam 2009 in Las Vegas (USA) for all Vietnamese contestants in America and in London (UK) for Vietnamese in Europe. The semi-final round for European contestants is scheduled on June 27 in London and on July 4 in Las Vegas.

After her first charity tour and leaving Vietnam on the first day of the lunar year 2009, Miss World Ksenia Sukhinova continued her charity activities in the US. So far, she has raised more than $3 million for charity.

On February 17, Ksenia Sukhinova and Hoang Kieu paid a visit to the centre for homeless people in Los Angeles and presented 10,000 food rations to homeless people.
