Newark,
NJ - In our tireless efforts to help the Haitian Community,
Akolad.com proudly announces the sponsorship of Miss Citronelle
pageant contestant Rose Abraham, a 20 year old Pre-Med
student, and Communications major from Rutgers University
in New Brunswick, NJ. Miss.Rose with six other contestants
will participate at the 10th annual edition of New Jersey
Miss Citronelle on Saturday June 24, 2006 in a chance
to become the 2007 New Jersey Miss Citronnelle.
Miss.
Citronnelle is an annual pageant event started back
in 1996 by Jean Clotaire Silencieux founder and director
of Tele Citronnelle and TCS-TV a 24 hours Haitian Satellite
channel based in Orange, New Jersey. The event featured
females of Haitian descent between the age of 18 and
30 years old with no criminal record among other predetermined
criteria where contestants compete on multiple aspects
such as artistic talent (dance, singing, and poetry),
stage presence, public speaking, and opinion on controversial
subjects.
Despite the rigorous course work as a pre-med student,
Rose is extremely involved in extracurricular activities
on her campus and in her community. For example, Rose
is the president of the West Indian Student Organization
for two years in a row she is a member of the Haitian
student Organization, a mentor for freshmen students,
member of the emerging leader?s institute, and a member
of the West Indian Dance troupe. And when it seems like
she has done enough, she tackles the challenge of running
for Miss Citronnelle, and still maintains a 3.4 cumulative
grade point average.
While going into her senior year at Rutgers University,
Rose is looking forward to graduation, starting her
career as a doctor, and helping the community. Realizing
the lack of good healthcare in Haiti, Miss. Rose hopes
one day she can go to Haiti and share some of her good
fortunes with those that are less fortunate than she.
" I want to continue to help my community as a
pediatrician, and go back to Haiti to contribute, "
said Rose.
Rose is a shinning example in the Haitian community.
So, let applaud her right now, and on stage at the Robert
Treat Hotel on Saturday June 24, 2006. And keep your
eyes open, because the next time you hear of her she
will be Dr. Rose---.
