Vote for Miss Ethiopia USA for the Miss Africa USA Beauty Pageant

SILVER SPRING, MD – Meron Wudneh, the current Miss Ethiopia USA says her eyes are cast on being crowned as Miss Africa USA, for which she seeks the support of her community.

With a degree in health and sciences, Meron says one of her greatest ideals in life is to work with and help kids. Besides, she works in promotional programs for the youth, and when not, models in New York City. Meron loves and plays basketball, and off the court, shakes her body in high-powered eskista dances of traditional Ethiopia. Here’s a letter for her fans:

My name is Meron Wudneh. I am honored and delighted to represent Ethiopia, an ancient African country with amazing bio diversity, people who take pride in preserving their diverse culture, it’s great warriors, Kings and Queens! I love dancing our traditional dances Eskista, playing sports and bringing visibility to our culture through fashion which inspired a greater love of modeling. I model in NY, and also work in MD for Montgomery County in the field of healthcare and recreation where we develop youth programs. I completed my studies with a full ride at Bowie State University and earned a Bachelors’ in Health and Sciences and played Women’s Basketball.

Since I was a child growing up in Ethiopia I always had the desire to help people, especially kids. When I graduated high school I realized that I had served 1,000 hours of community service helping kids at my neighborhood community center. Almost two years ago, I founded my non-profit called Kids First Ethiopia. Kids First Ethiopia sends schools supplies, clothes, shoes, and other miscellaneous items to kids that have suffered the loss of their parents to HIV/AIDS and/or are homelessness.

Last year, I stayed in Ethiopia for 6 months working alongside established NGOs such as Mary Joy Foundation, to support the efforts of others who are passionate about supporting the needs of kids. I learned how one person can truly change a child’s future.

Please join me on my journey to continue this effort to serve more kids in our beautiful motherland!

Thank you all for your support!
