When Justine Pasek ended her reign as Miss Universe in June 2002, Panama’s leading newspapers unanimously acclaimed both her beauty and her talent. Although she was born in the Ukraine, her home country since childhood has been Panamá, where she obtained her education.

Justine Pasek was appointed Ambassador for the promotion of culture and tourism by the Government of Panamá and sponsor of the Osteoporosis and Metabolic Diseases Foundation of her country, a role she has used to promote the health benefits of proper nutrition.

She is a volunteer of the Panamanian PROBIDSIDA organization and participates actively in educating people about HIV/AIDS through lectures to civic groups and in the raising of funds for these educational campaigns.

Justine also cooperates with various Latin-American non-governmental organizations on activities dedicated to helping malnourished children in remote areas.

“I feel it is my duty to use my title of FAO Ambassador to work towards a world in which the fertility of our soil reaches everyone”.
