Iris Mittenaere’s life after the crowning has been quite eventful. She has been doing her duties for the wellbeing of people around, which is why she is regarded as one of the most loved beauty queens present.
Continuing with the humanitarian activities, the beauty queen is now in Haiti for the ‘Smile Train’ project. She is there for the children who are undergoing cleft lip and palate surgeries. Iris is really energized for the project as for the first time she is witnessing the impact of these surgeries.
Smile Train is known to be the charity providing corrective surgery for children with cleft lips and palates. Smile Train was established in 1998 by Brian Mullaney and Charles Wang, who had previously worked with Operation Smile, another charity focused on correcting cleft lips and palates.
She was also clicked carrying a baby after she received her cleft repair surgery from Smile Train's local partner in Haiti. Iris has previously stated that she will be carrying forward former Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach’s advocacy of spreading awareness on AIDS and working on the measures for curbing the incurable disease. Iris Mittenaere is currently in the final year of her dental studies.
Besides dental health, the stunning Miss Universe supports girl education as well. Iris shares, “I will be a dentist in two years. I have a charity for teaching children how to eat properly. But now that I’m representing the Miss Universe, I want to do more than that. I really want to bring all the children to school”.
We are waiting for other such commendable steps the beauty queen will take in future. We are moved with the passion Iris has within & would like to wish her all the luck.
