For our last day before heading home. We were invited to the annualy Miss Prison Pagneant in Cartagena Women Prison.
The prisons here are here for many reasons, murder (often self defence for children or self because of mistreat), robbery (to provide for her familiy) or voilence (which i have no tolerance or excuses towards).
It was first a little shocking to see, so many women and white and black striped dressed and orange sweaters. It is little wierd becasue you do not know what they are there for. But the reasons they to the pagneant is to give them hope and motivation to not give up - which is a good thing.
Since there was some rumors that have went around, saying that I was participating in Miss Norway 2018, They invited me to be one of four judges. It was such an honor and i felt like a celebrity.
It was so fun to be a part of this and they had preapred a lot in advance. Some audince is allowd to attend and I think it was approcimatly 200 people there. It was very exciting and intresting to see.
Unfortunatly we were not allowed to take Any pictures beacuse there is a govermental institution and also a prison.
I am happy and thankful that I have been able to see so many differnt institutions and some many different way of living here in Africa. It has really made an impact and I dont think I am able to retun back with the same mindset I had when I came.
