Even as her reign as Miss India Worldwide 2012 draws to an end, Alana Seebarran has not been taking her role lightly. In fact she has been seeking to establish her place as a role model for young girls, primarily those of Indian descent.
Seebarran currently holds the coveted title which makes her the first Guyanese to be crowned queen at a recognised International Pageant. She claimed the prestigious accolade for herself and by extension Guyana, in Suriname, in February of last year.
As part of her reign she has been seeking to not only showcase Guyana to the world, but has also been visiting a number of schools across the country offering motivational talks. Among the schools visited were West Demerara Secondary, Cummings Lodge Secondary and St Joseph High, where she witnessed and embraced the start of a project to keep the city clean.
Her outstanding tenure is expected to come to an end later this year when she is expected to hand over the crown to her successor in Malaysia.
The 24-year-old beauty queen was crowned at a pageant which saw her being the clear favourite from the get-go, effectively beating out 35 other candidates from around the world. Seebarran had won the Guyana leg of the competition in November 2011 and moved on to the finals.
After claiming the crown last year, Seebarran returned to Guyana where she was given a warm welcome by family, friends, well-wishers and Berbicians who flocked the Guyana- Suriname Ferry Terminal at Moleson Creek on the Corentyne. She left Guyana for Suriname by air and chose to return home through the ancient county.
Her arrival home thrilled many who lined the roadway on the Upper Corentyne area as she waved to them while passing in a motorcade which left the stelling after she met and greeted members of the public and media personnel.
Many persons gathered with their Golden Arrowheads, waving, awaiting the queen’s arrival. The tassa drummers were on their mark and began their drumming as the crowd swarmed the outside of the terminal to greet Guyana’s newest famed beauty queen. She was greeted and given a bouquet of flowers and lots of hugs and kisses. She then started to join the group in some dancing to the tassa drums. It was a rousing welcome.
Chairperson of the Teaching Service Commission, Mrs Leila Ramson was one of the persons who had accompanied Seebarran to Suriname.
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
