WASHINGTON D.C., U.S.A. (September 9, 2011) – Monica Haule was recently selected to represent Tanzania in the Miss Africa USA pageant on Sunday, November 13th, in Silver Spring, MD.
Each delegate will have a profile on the Miss Africa USA website which details their platform and projects for communities in Africa and America that are in need. Supporters of Haule will be able to log on to the site this month to cast their vote and the delegate with the most votes will be crowned the “People’s Princess.” Haule is representing her country of origin, Tanzania, and her platform is illiteracy. Haule’s interest in reading began when she was a mere 3-year-old by her father, the late journalist and professor, Dr. John Haule. “Growing up, my parents instilled a sense of purpose and direction through the world of books. The Miss Africa USA pageant will provide the opportunity to get the word out to decrease illiteracy .
