Summary: A young lady, 31 years old, who lost her leg after stepping on a landmine has just been crowned the winner of the unusual title Miss Landmine Angola 2008. All the woman in this competition dressed in long dresses and swimsuits during this telivised competition. However, they all wore artificial limbs. The pageant producers say that this competition is to help allow these girls to get their ride up once again, and realize that they are beautiful. Augusta Urica won this pageant on wednesday. She was crowned Miss Landmine Angola 2008.

Opinon: THis is such an awsome idea. To do this for those unfortunate women is such an awsome oppurtunity to give back to the world. These women deserve to feel like they are beautiful and special. These women deserve as much a chance as any other women in the world to compete in beauty pageants. I am so glad that there are programs like this one that reach out to those people who may have no pride or selfesteem left inside of them.
