Miss Brazil: “Miss World is a reflection of the values the world should have. It does not only focus on physical beauty, but the sensitivity to help people in need… With Miss World, she’s able to help many people. If everybody does their part, we can make this a better world.”
Miss Ghana: “I believe a Miss World should be someone who is a woman with substance and is compassionate.. with beauty with a purpose.. to make an impact in the lives of women and the less fortunate”
Miss Spain: “I will give to those people who really need help, all my energies, all my passion, to make their lives a little bit easier and happier”
Miss Gibraltar: “I believe I should be the next MW because I want to be MW for all the right reasons: I genuinely want to help people in need. I don’t want to be MW because I want to be glamorous, because those things don’t change people’s lives… I believe kindness is what changes people’s lives.”
