Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi and Miss USA 2019 host Smile Train hope

Miss Universe 2019 Zozibini Tunzi just recently hosted a virtual card making activity on the official Miss Universe Instagram page to help spread smiles and awareness for Smile Train, an organisation that provides free cleft surgery across the globe. She did this activity with her sister queen Miss USA 2019 Cheslie Kryst and both the queens seemed to have a blast supporting such a good cause.

Both the beauties also recounted their experiences with the Smile Train foundation while answering the questions on their live chat. They also asked everyone to keep patience and sent hope and inspiration to encourage people who are living in isolation during the global coronavirus pandemic.

 

 

Zozibini, during the live session, said, “It’s a difficult thing to be alone because of social distancing and the message is for them [cleft patients] to keep strong and to know that we are here and that we are together in this global virtual community.”

While Zozibini sent out strong feelers, Cheslie said, “This pandemic is exacerbating the isolation and especially affecting those who have cleft lips and palates. You may feel like an outcast, but we know and your families know that you’re the same as us, and hopefully, these cards are going to make you feel better.”

The Miss Universe Organisation teamed up with Smile Train in 2016 and since then all the Miss Universe queens have done their bit to support the foundation.
