In Her Own Words...

"Hello World!

My name is Vania Larissa, and it is an incredible honour to be representing my beautiful and exotic country, Indonesia!

I was raised in a family who taught me to be genuine, thankful, and to always carry the heart to give wherever I go. Being Miss Indonesia 2013 has shown me a world beyond all the glamour and beauty, and has handed me the rare opportunity to give back on a more national scale.

I have many passions in life, but I think music is one of the greatest gifts of life, and I live to express myself in this extraordinary form of art.

This year, I am honoured to be the face of the hosting country, and I would like to invite all of you to experience this beautiful country I’m proud to call home."

In Her Own Words...

"Hello everyone. I’m Vivi from Xi’an, the capital city of China during the Tang Dynasty. I am the 63rd Miss China.

For me, the Miss World Pageant has a special meaning. In 2009, because I had participated in the Miss World pageant I was able to raise over 50 thousand US dollars to help rebuild a school destroyed in a mudslide near my hometown. Two years later I volunteered as an art and music teacher in a small primary school in the mountains of southwestern China. I leveraged my participation in the Miss World to create a documentary drawing attention to the need for more teachers in remote schools.

But I want to do more.

I’m here now in Indonesia as Miss China with a simple purpose, to stand on a larger platform where I can inspire and empower - on a global scale – young women like myself to help children in need."

Upon graduating,

I now work in the industry as singer, presenter, dancer and model. I am known for working extremely hard and I definitely don't like having days off! In my free time, I love catching up with friends, watching a football game or trying out as many restaurants as possible around Sydney.

I have always endeavoured to be involved in charitable organisations wherever possible - My main focus this year has been disadvantaged children. Such organisations I have been raising funds for include The Lilla Community (Indigenous Outreach Program near Uluru, Australia's Red Centre), and Children's First Foundation. The most important thing I have learnt is that no matter our situation, there is always something we can do to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate."
