Saturday!

The morning started off very relaxing. We were able to sleep in a little and enjoy our breakfast on the beautiful patio like normal! Today we were invited to attend a conference about entrepreneurship right here at Annie's Lodge, with Annie as the main guest speaker. At the conference we heard so many wonderful people talk about their own businesses and plans for their lives. Some of our own medical students even shared about the devices they are working on for the hospitals here in Malawi. Our very own Professor Pat Kelly also shared about her own business of renovating houses and re-selling them for double the price when she would move. All of the speakers, especially Annie were so kind and inspirational. They were all so passionate about their businesses and futures, and reminded us students how much we really love our professions of education. The conference was truly amazing!
We all were able to eat together and enjoy each other's company as we once again devoured more delicious food for lunch. We then took a little break to relax and take a power nap before we headed to a birthday party! Annie's daughter, Catherine, was having a party here at the lodge to celebrate her birthday and we were so kindly invited to attend! We danced the night away! We were fortunate enough to met so many kind and sweet people. We realized very quickly how wonderful dancers all the guests were and how much they loved to really get into their dancing. Everyone was so kind to grab our hands and try to teach us their moves. I don't think we ever got up to par with their standard of dancing, but we had so much fun trying anyway. We danced and talked with many new people for most of the night until it was finally time to say goodbye. They gave us hugs as we wished each other for the absolute best in the future. Annie was so kind to host us again gave us another magnificent day in Malawi.
