Angolan women are hosting a beauty pageant for women who were victims of land mines found all over the country as a result of a long lasting civil war.
These women will be tested on their beauty and brains and ultimately want to raise awareness and become ambassadors for their cause.

Evis that picture is haunting. What an incredible story!
