This award has placed her in the top five for raising funds towards the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS). As Miss World Canada 2005, Ramona has already begun single handedly fundraising for the CCS. The Miss World motto "Beauty with a purpose" means raising money for children's charities. 20% of your sponsorship money will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society which goes towards childhood cancer research and assistance to cancer patients. Your tax deductible donation will help many people affected by cancer. Ramona Amiri is proud of the rich culture she inherited from her Assyrian father. When asked where she would most like to visit in the world, she responded, §I would love to visit a place in Iran called Urmieh. My father's roots are in this magical region, which has been traced back through the Bible; many say this region is the original Garden of Eden. This year's 111 contestants will be divided in Six Geographical Regions. The top 2 winners in each region will automatically advance to the Top 15 semifinalists.
