In the spirit of giving and compassion the Annual Stellenbosch Pageant royalty, led by pageant director Queen Enigma von Hamburg, rallied together to host a special Christmas dinner for 75 guests of the Stellenbosch Night Shelter on Saturday 7 December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event was a heart-warming display of community spirit and generosity. \u201cOur kings, queens and brand ambassadors, along with their parents and volunteers, worked tirelessly to provide a delicious meal, salads, dessert cupcakes, ice cream and tarts for the guests,\u201d Von Hamburg said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Annual Stellenbosch Pageant is much more than just a beauty pageant, our platform is living proof of the positive impact pageants can have on our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to Christmas dinner, the royals also donated clothing, shoes, reading books, Bibles, toiletries, sanitary supplies, food, cleaning essentials and blankets to the shelter. They also handed a generous monetary donation to the night shelter, which will provide shelter for 150 people in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are overwhelmed with gratitude for the support and generosity of our royals and sponsors,\u201d Von Hamburg added. \u201cIt\u2019s a testament to the power of kindness and compassion, and we\u2019re honoured to have been a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
