ASARA BULLEN IS MISS EARTH SOUTH SUDAN 2019
"Our home, is under attack, a real assault on the Environment"
These words might sound alarmist, to someone used to the sound of guns, but the last word shifts the thinking.
These were the words by *Asara Bullen* when she got crowned Thursday 14th Feb, 2019 as *Miss Earth South Sudan 2019* in Juba City.
"Global warming, pollution of water, soil and air is a global problem that even my young country of South Sudan is not been spared from." She continued.
"I'm humbled and honored as I accept this crown, which is an opportunity for me to cause the needed change, in an area I am genuinely passionate about, right from creating awareness to engaging in actual activities."
"I feel the weight of this responsibility and know the work ahead of me. I'm equal to the task. I've already joined hands with my government, environmental agencies and concerned citizens at home and abroad and still enlisting more. We begin our campaign on advocating against water pollution from oil spills into the Nile waters and plastic waste. This is a good fight, not with guns and machetes, but with ideas."
She concluded.
Asara was crowned by the immediate former Minister for Environment *Hon. Deng Deng Hoc Yai* current Minister for Education and General Instruction on behalf of *Hon. Dr. Nadia Arop Dudi Mayom* the Minister for Culture, Youth and Sports in the presence of the pageant National Director *Mrs Nyanut Ring Von Habsburg.*
Asara was a finalist in the 2017 Miss World South Sudan competition, an experience she says has given her the impetus necessary to serve the title effectively.
