Taking her message to the world

TAMWORTH will be touched by the Miss World quest when Miss World Australia Sabrina Houssami visits in August.
Miss Houssami will represent Australia in Poland in September at the judging for Miss World, but will first make a stop in Tamworth for Life Education's 20th birthday

dinner.

The 20-year-old Sydney University student has supported 25 charities with Astara Angels and Life Education her two charities this year. Astara Angels is a charity in Rishikesh, India, that aims to build a refuge for orphaned and abandoned girls.

"They are both beautiful projects," Miss Houssami said.

"I've seen the destitution in India so that's why I chose that charity and we have a lot of misinformation about health and it is going down the drain with obesity rising, which is why I chose Life Education."

Tamworth's Life Education branch invited Miss Houssami to their dinner and she immediately accepted.

"I want to bring more awareness of what they are doing and why it's an important organisation," she said.

"Having a high profile I'm able to raise awareness and understanding of the cause, which is important to gain support for it."

After her visit to Tamworth, Miss Houssami will travel to Poland for a month of Miss World judging in September.

Tamworth residents have the chance to meet Miss Houssami with a meet and greet at Shoppingworld on August 12 at 11am and she will visit a school on Friday, August 11 with Life Education.

DEHRA DUN: A group of citizens has urged the Union Government to find out the identity of a swami who lived and died at the Shaulmari Ashram on Rajpur Road here on April 10, 1977 as they feel he might have been Subash Chandra Bose.

Addressing newspersons here on Monday, Om Prakash Sharma, Rajendra Nath Sharma, Devendra Bhasin and B.S. Rawat said they were in possession of documents and knew some people close to the swami. They were sure that he was Netaji leading the life of a recluse.

"These people and the then District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police will be able to tell who the swami was as he was cremated with State honours in Rishikesh," they said.

Several persons known to be close aides of Netaji like Uttam Chandra Malhotra and Ramani Ranjan Das were his frequent visitors of the swami, they added.

They wanted the Government or Parliament to order a probe into Netaji's whereabouts as suggested by the Mukherjee Commission. The Commission's report was rejected by the Government.
