Boot camp for Miss Rwanda contestants

A total of 15 Miss Rwanda 2009 finalists arrived at Lake Kivu Serena Hotel in Rubavu, last Friday for a week long in-house intensive training. According to Cleophas Kabasaiita, the corporate communications manager, it was essential for the girls to be taken away from their daily lives to a secluded place where they can learn what it takes to be a beauty queen and a cultural ambassador of Rwanda.
