Daryanne Lees Miss Grand International 2014 posted on her Facebook page “I know there is a serious concern from my fans as today I am traveling to Kurdistan, close to the Middle East and Syria. As an American citizen I have been advised against my mission by many, and want to ensure everyone that I have faith that the MGI organization has educated themselves on the circumstances regarding ISIS and my risk of being in these near territories. With that said, my life I have dedicated to others and to my pageant career, and I have not worked so hard for the stop the war assignment to quit now. I thank you for your prayers and positive messages. In this life we must always fight for others instead of ourselves, and this is how you you make a change.”
