TINEKE DE FREITAS, T&T’s delegate to the Miss World Beauty Pageant 2006 has adopted the role of big sister in far-off Poland, where she has already settled in for competition night come September 30!

Sunday PUNCH has learnt that the 23-year-old Westmoorings beauty has been forced to share her clothes with some of her Caribbean sisters, who reportedly lost their luggage en route from London to Poland last week.

It was the certified accountant who immediately went to their rescue offering them pieces of her clothing until their situation improved. The Caribbean girls are all staying in the same hotel.

She never hesitated to lend them her clothes and she has promised to do it again,” Adrian Raymond revealed to Sunday PUNCH.
She also told me that she had no problem in wearing the same clothes again.”

Raymond is a member of the Peter Elias and Associates team, organisers of the local leg

of the beauty pageant. With three weeks to competition night, Raymond also said that the big-hearted De Freitas has already been placed in the top 20 at two Miss World betting agencies.

De Freitas’ roommate is Miss Cayman Islands.

“Tineke is slowly warming to the competition and she knows she has a big job on her hands,” Raymond added.
“She had good interaction with the big

lady herself, Julia Morley, and she’s happy

with the way things are going,” he ended.
