Krystina has faith
By Shona Pitt *

Krystina Kauvai did us proud at the Miss South Pacific Pageant in Samoa.
Competing for the title against six other beautiful Pacific Women was no easy feat. There were times that the 19-year-old admitted she felt overwhelmed.
However, it was her Christian faith and her determination to do the best she can that saw her through.
Krystina has a rare kind of beauty, one that can not be imitated.
Not only is she outwardly a beautiful young woman but she also has an inner beauty that one senses when speaking to her.
Everyone who has worked and dealt with her has nothing but praise for this high achiever.
MODEST
Forever modest, Krystina attributes her success to those who have supported her during the lead up to the contest, and says she has been blessed by The Lord.
There is no denying that she is a beautiful, talented young lady and she will go down as being the first to win Miss Tiare, Miss Cook Islands and Miss South Pacific.
For those of us who attended the pageant it was a proud moment when the final announcement was made.
The Cook Islands have won again. All Cook Islanders should be proud to yet again have a Cook Islander hold the title of Miss South Pacific.
