In an interview with The San Pedro Sun, Jhoshi spoke of his experience, “Travelling to the pageant made me nervous, especially because I travelled there by myself and without the assistance of a coach. But, once I got there and started meeting the other contestants, I became comfortable. I knew that I would do my best to represent this beautiful country of Belize. I returned and I am very happy to bring with me the Title of Mr. Jade World, a title that I will gladly share with all the Belizean people and supporters who shared their love and support with me. I was very proud to be representing Belize in this international competition in Guatemala.”
With the pageant over, the organizers are preparing an International Agenda which Mr. Jade World, Jhoshi will have to fulfill along with Brasil and Mexico. The agenda will include visits to various Central American countries where all participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences with other beauty ambassadors. Jhoshi takes this opportunity to thank the following individuals that supported him in this competition: Wild Mangoes and Carlos Barrientos of Mar de Colores among others.
