From
a country that produces searing hot men, comes another international
titleholder. Kamel Raad, 28, from Beirut, Lebanon secured his place in mister
pageant history as first ever Mister United Continents, marking the maiden
edition of the Philippines’ first homegrown international mister pageant. He
bagged the title Mister United Continents 2015 in a tightly contested finals
night last May 29, 2015 in Manila, Philippines overcoming sixteen other delegates
from across continents.
Months
into his record win, Kamel continues to hug the limelight; gracing glossy
magazines and centerfold spreads, making special guest appearances on TV,
fashion shows and pageant programs, doing modeling and promotional photo shoots
and especially going on many social missions for charitable and children
oriented causes.
Mixing
celebrity glitz with civic altruism is the trademark of Kamel who has been
involved in charity work earlier on as volunteer for the international
humanitarian organization Red Cross. He has also supported campaigns to raise funds
for and awareness of the plight of cancer stricken children.
Concern
for others comes second-nature to him who grew up in a family full of love,
respect and acceptance. He enjoys helping others and has a soft spot for
homeless and poor kids because he believes that they are the future of this
world and if we want a better future, we must start caring for these
children. This endearing quality in him
is what makes him such a fitting symbol and partner to spur the pageant’s work
of promoting peace, friendship and charity. To Kamel, may your tribe increase!
