I would like to take this opportunity to give a great being shout out to Waterford West teen Jazinda Barnes, who is heading to London and Paris this month to compete in the Face of the Globe Pageant. Face of the Globe is an international beauty pageant held in aid of the Rainbow Child Foundation. Jazinda is one of a small group of girls chosen to represent Australia after receiving a placing in the National Face of the Globe competition here.

As part of Jazinda's pageant duties, she is raising funds to support the Rainbow Child Foundation. This is a not-for-profit organisation and global charity that helps children and families around the world through sanitation and immunisation programs, education and support of orphanages, as well as providing support and care for terminally ill children. With Jazinda's passion for the Logan community and work with sporting groups and Access Community Services, I have no doubt she will be a strong contender for Face of the Globe. In my electorate of Forde, we have so many young people like Jazinda who are working to make the world a better place every day. I am very proud to be able to share this good news story with the House. I wish her best of luck and commend her for her efforts to fundraise for and highlight the work of the Rainbow Child Foundation.
