There were 26 young men and women competing for the sash of Miss and Mister Malagasy but in the end, Kevina Volazara and Yanisse Djaafari won the coronation. They therefore succeed Stephanie Floriana Randriantsoa and Andy Rasolo. The first runner-up, Fitia Rakotoarisoa placed in front of Marina Andrianoelison. In the Mister category, Jason Sovolory comes in second position ahead of Vincent Fetisoa. For the organizers of the event, the objective has been achieved. According to Jay Sam Ralantoarison, president of the Miss Mister Malagasy committee, “ As a designer, we are on the right track because we are gradually achieving our goals. Make Miss Mister Malagasy a reference, in terms of election, not only for the diaspora in Europe but also for all Malagasy people around the world. Every year, we see enterprising, dynamic and active young people, with substantial academic background, who take part in the adventure to be able to meet this ardent desire for the development of their country of origin.“. Being a candidate for Miss Mister Malagasy then becomes a dream to cherish for young Malagasy people. Like every year, a region of Madagascar will be chosen, in which schools will benefit from school supplies collected over time. Especially since Yanisse will certainly collect additional sports equipment.
Road trip. As with their predecessors, their arrival is planned for next year, with the aim of roadtripping. They will meet children from the most remote areas of these provincial capitals to distribute school kits. With a busy schedule, they will have the difficult task of providing assistance to disadvantaged children, particularly those who go to school but who do not necessarily have the means to stay there. The social and charitable actions of the miss and mister will tend to encourage and help parents to send their youngest children to school and that these children have a better chance of building a better future by acquiring a good academic foundation. As today’s children are the future of Madagascar, it is crucial to give them the necessary tools so that they can go as far as possible, and school is undeniably part of this. As ambassadors, these young people will have an important role to play in representing national culture, values, and traditions while participating in diplomatic and charitable events. At the same time, they serve as a model for young people encouraging individual aspirations and social commitment. Their impact also extends to promoting tourism and commerce, raising awareness of social causes and redefining beauty standards towards inclusion and diversity. Thus, their role goes far beyond that of a simple figure of beauty encompassing multiple spheres for a significant impact on society.
