"The most wonderful thing a human being can do is help another and that is just what the Miss World motto 'Beauty with a purpose' encourages."

"I am passionate about extending the hand of friendship to people whom I will never meet, and empower disadvantaged Australians through the opportunities that I have been afforded."

Sonia has currently worked with over a dozen organizations and has a particular passion for homelessness.

"There are 50,000 Australian kids who are on the street every year. This number is simply unacceptable. I am determined to reach out to businesses and together work to resolve this largely misunderstood social problem."

Sonia supports and volunteers with the following organizations:

  • Coast Shelter
  • Mission Australia
  • Drummoyne House
  • Missionbeat
  • Rawson Centre
  • St Vincent de Paul Society
  • Mary Mackillop Outreach for mentally disabled adults
  • Father Chris Riley's Youth Off The Streets
  • Triumphant International
  • ALIV
  • Starlight Foundation
  • Cancer Council
  • Camp Quality
  • Party 4 Poverty
  • Red Cross
  • Salvation Army
