Eleven-year-old Wendy Olulanu Kasumu has emerged the Best of the Best Child Model of the World 2010 in far away Bulgaria.
The contest, which featured more than 42 countries in various categories, saw Wendy coming tops and crowned the overall winner of the event.
Speaking about her experience at a press conference organised by AJ Trimec, Olakas Techniques, Modela Couture and Powerhouse at City Mall, Onikan, Lagos, Wendy said winning the Best of the Best Child Model of the World 2010 had brought her untold fame. She attributed her triumph to the unflinching support she got from her parents.
Wendy also recalled that representing Nigeria and showcasing her numerous cultures gave her an edge over contestants from other countries.
The father of the JSS 1 student of Jiba College, Surulere, Mr. Olulanu Kasumu, expressed gratitude to God, saying that being the father of the Best of the Best Child Model of the World was the best thing that had happened to his family. But he called on the government for support, because, according to him, ”there are many untapped talents in every Nigerian child waiting to be explored”.
The Coordinator, Best Child Model of the World, Nigeria, Samuel Orheruata, added that by being the Best of the Best Child Model of the World 2010, Wendy had brought honour not only to her family and school, but to Nigeria as a whole.
