Maryan is 21 years and works for the Cypres clubs in the UK taking care of events, customer needs and other management tasks.
She sounded her hopes for women and Africa when she was answering the contest questions. If Africans don’t stand for their own rights, Africa shall remain the same if not get worse.
What if she had all the riches in the world? Enjoy my wealth, campaign for human rights and organize riots against the greedy African governments.
She had more to say still : Prosecute war criminals, help those who are less privileged and rebuild glamorous mosques and cities in Africa. Wow!
Even she had this to say for East Africa : Investigate natural resources in East Africa, listen to the needs of our people and work closely with them to get it.
She summed it all - AFRICA NEEDS HOPE.
