Miss Earth United States Teaches Students in Nicaragua a Life Changing Lesson



Miss Earth United States, Elite Miss Earth United States & state delegates have partnered with World Missions Outreach in Nicaragua.


The Earth Warrior Team is serving as global ambassadors to teach self-sustainable education by using recycled materials. Each WMO student learned how to plant their own vegetables & fruits; thus ensuring, no child has to go to bed hungry!

How do you create a garden out of recycled materials?


#1 - Each student used a recycled plastic bottle as their planting container.

What is Miss Earth?

Miss Earth United States serves as the Ambassador to

environmental protection campaigns worldwide. This year it was awarded as one of the top 3 pageants in the world. Miss Earth United States was awarded as Best Pageant of 2016 & the Director, Laura Clark, was just named Best Director of the Year.


Why is Miss Earth Relevant to WMO?

Miss Earth continues to build its reputation as the most relevant and worthwhile pageant event in the world, setting a legacy of beauty and responsibility to our earth & it's inhabitants.

The Miss Earth Organization has partnered with WMO as their National Charity to share their passion for the earth throughout the United States and all across the world.


Miss Earth United States & state delegates traveled to World Missions Outreach in Nicaragua to serve as role models, teach agricultural skills, promote self-confidence, inspire hope, provide educational school materials & share their passion to preserve and restore Mother Earth.


Why is teaching sustainability & agriculture important?

WMO students learned how to plant their own vegetables & fruits!

This type of trade skill agriculture education ensures that no child has to go to bed hungry. This type of knowledge is a way to provide children with a way to create a self-sustainable lifestyle for themselves & their families in the face of economic adversities.


What did we plant?

Tomatoes, Peas, Onions, Carrots & Beans!


What will the students do with their plants?

Each student will be responsibly for taking the knowledge & tools that the Miss Earth US Team equipped them with to tend and take care of their plant. The students will come to school and monitor their seedlings daily. Once their seed starts to grow & produce, the students can take the produce home to share with their families!


Do Short Term Mission Teams Matter?

Of course they do! Still questioning it? Ask the 100 students who now have agriculture knowledge and are able to provide food for their families; not just one time, but for a lifetime!
