Mittenaere has spent the past year working for the Smile Train organization, which she told Hollywood Life earlier this year:
It’s an organization that raises money and uses dental surgery for children who have cleft palates, so it’s very interesting and it’s one of my passions. I’m very excited to go to a lot of countries to do that. You can change the lives of these children. When you see the before and after, you understand everything and why we want to do this.
The Miss Universe winner definitely has the opportunity to use her voice for important causes, proving it's so much more than just a beauty competition. Fans of the long-running competition are counting down the days to see who takes home the crown. Count me among them.
