Miss Ghana 2001 Selasie Kwawu has left for Mali to represent the country in the Miss ECOWAS Beauty Pageant. By tradition, the winner of Miss Ghana also participates in Miss ECOWAS.

The pageant, which is running for the eighth time has seen Ms Matilda Alomatu, Miss Ghana 1994 carrying the crown and making Ghana proud.

Selasie has not had a break after returning recently from the Miss World Beauty Pageant in Sun City where Miss Nigeria made Africa proud by carrying the enviable crown.

It is the hope of Ghanaians that Selasi will come tops at the event to keep the flag of Ghana high. The beauty queen will embark on her AIDS campaign project in secondary schools when she returns from Mali.
