The transcription is a conversation among individuals joining a call. They discuss where they are joining from, such as India and home, and express excitement about launching the Watipa Social Impact Leadership Academy. The Academy aims to provide further capacity building opportunities for the Watipa family focusing on topics like leadership, social impact, governance, philanthropy, entrepreneurship, and job creation. The logo for the Academy is explained, symbolizing youth empowerment and collaboration. Participants express enthusiasm about participating and contributing to the program. I come first. How are you? I'm fine. How are you? I'm fine. Thank you. Nice to hear you. Thank you. Nice to meet you too and see you again. It's been a year. Where are you today? Are you in the long way? I've just come from the church. Okay. Great. Thanks for joining me. It's great to have you here. Yeah. Here's Naomi. Hi, Naomi. I'm just welcoming Naomi who just joined the call as well. I'm just welcoming her to hear me. Hi, Naomi. How are you? I'm good. Thanks. How are you? Good. Thank you. Thanks for joining today. Thank you. Good to be here. Where are you joining from? I'm in India. You're in India. Oh, my goodness. Wow. Yes, I am. Which part of India? I'm in the northern part, a city called Shimla here. Fantastic. What are you doing in India? I'm doing my master's. Congratulations. I didn't know that. That's fantastic news. How's it going so far? So far so good. We can't wait to be done by next year. Are you up for the final path at the moment? You end at the end of the year? Yeah. I think we're in the third. We're finishing the third semester and then we'll have our final semester next year. Okay. Well, good luck. Thank you very much. And here's Julia. Hi, Julia. Hi, Lucy. How are you? How are you? Nice to hear you. How are you today? I'm good. And you? Oh, good. Great. And where are you joining from? I can't even guess where you might be. I'm joining from home, actually. Okay. Here at home. Okay. Oh, good. Well, thanks for joining. We'll just give it another minute or two. I think there were... Let me just check to see who else was planning to join us today. I think Precious was going to join and Sekai and Baloteng. So we'll just give it another few minutes. Give me one second. I'll just send them a reminder on email and then I think we might start because it's unfair to make you wait for joining early. So give me one second and then we'll get going. Okay. Okay. Here's somebody who's just joined. Hi, welcome. Can I check who's joining from an iPhone? Hi, how are you? Nice to hear you. Thanks for joining. I'm good. Thank you. Great to have you here. Fantastic. So I think we might... I think some others will join as we get going but let's not waste your time and we'll start this very exciting session tonight or this morning or this lunchtime, wherever everyone is. Just before I begin in Australia, it is a common practice, a good practice to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land that we're joining from. I'm in beautiful Gumbaynggirr country on the east coast of New South Wales and I pay my respects to elders past and present and appreciate the custodianship of these lands and waterways for thousands of years. I extend that acknowledgement. In the future, we'll have others joining from different parts of Australia and we normally would also acknowledge where they're joining from. So for tonight, I extend that to the wonderful lands that you're joining from in Kenya and Malawi and in Darnay and Balochang eventually logs on. We have such a great and beautiful stretch across some very incredible parts of the world through the Watipa family. So thank you very much for joining us tonight. We have a fabulous program, most excitingly to launch the Watipa Social Impact Leadership Academy. How it will go is I'll just say a very few short words about the academy to start off and Elias will do so also from the perspective of the alumni and we'll pause for a bit of a discussion and some questions and ideas from everyone here and then we'll pass to the second part of the session today where Livia will introduce our keynote speaker for this first session which is Reheri Niasulu from Malawi for our first insights about her experience as an entrepreneur and business owner and then we'll also have time for some questions and discussions from what we've heard from Reheri. So the whole idea is to be energising, inspiring, sparks some ideas for future that we can come back to in more detail in some other sessions going forward. So without further ado and with a huge amount of excitement I'm really pleased to share with you and to officially launch together our Social Impact Leadership Academy. It is something that was really born and crystallised from the passion and energy at the AGM last year when we were last all together in a big group and with the current scholars as well as a lot of alumni from Malawi, almost everyone from Malawi and about 10 from the other countries from the very beginning of Wetipa and I think what was really impressive and quite overwhelming but in a really positive way from that meeting is this really strong commitment that we all share to pay it forward and to give back to our communities in our own ways, in the ways that make sense to us and our skills as well as to respond to the issues we see in our communities and the solutions we have in mind to help fix those problems or help improve things for others. It was very powerful this notion of paying it forward and how that looks for everyone and it really resonated with what we've heard over the years for feedback from alumni and also from scholars about more opportunities for mentorship and networking both with other scholars and with alumni and also with the networks, the professional networks and connections that Wetipa as a whole brings including through our trustees and our consultants and others internationally with expertise in different areas. So in a very simple way the idea for this is sort of a Wetipa Plus model. It's trying to add more learning and more connection and more inspiration, those opportunities in addition to the support that young people receive through the Wetipa Scholarship Program. So the focus areas could include things like full purpose leadership, social impact and measuring that, governance in terms of setting up a not-for-profit or a charity, philanthropy and giving back through charitable purposes or through your own fundraising or scholarships and we've seen that happen in some examples from some of our alumni to entrepreneurship and business development and job creation through community leadership and through other things. I think we're really open and Elias will touch on this in a moment to the kind of topics we cover in this academy. These are just some of the focus areas we've heard so far from the conversations and the hopes from existing scholars and alumni. And if I was to sort of summarise it really is that the academy will serve as a further capacity building opportunity for those in the Wetipa family and they will be co-facilitated by a range of people here in Australia in terms of some of our board of directors, trustees, consultants, myself and others. We're chatting to some local universities who might help us with their curriculum from the business school and their social impact sector and also connecting with some international faculty outside of Australia and also really tapping into the expertise we have amongst the Wetipa family from Wetipa alumni in particular who've got strengths across these and other focus areas. And just to say, and this is in part handing over to Elias as well, but we really listened and we did ask specifically about the idea of the Social Impact Leadership Academy in the alumni survey at the end of last year that was released just after the AGM and it was almost unanimous about how excited everyone was from Wetipa alumni about this opportunity. That was a sneak peek for my next slide. Everyone expressed interest in participating or collaborating in some way and everyone was really keen to offer something to this program as well as eager to get something out of it through networking and learning. So as always there was this wonderful passion and shared commitment and sense of giving as well as receiving as part of this Wetipa network and this new initiative, this Social Impact Leadership Academy. I just wanted to explain our logo. It's brand new and it's quite special and we did talk about it a little bit as we were finalising our Wetipa logo together at the AGM last year and that's been finalised with the sea eagle or the gharil connecting here with our place, my place in Sautel and the representation of that in terms of people, young people, spirits and the stars and the Malawi flag represented in the strong vision of the Wetipa logo here. But we also wanted to make it very special for this learning opportunity through the Social Impact Leadership Academy and connected with the local primary school where Temwa, my daughter, attends and there's a group at the school of local Indigenous students there and they work together on the artwork. That's the sketch on the left where they thought about our things and thought about the vision of people and learning and our name Wetipa and how it connects with some of the waterways here and the strengths of the women's totem and really thought about that and then when we discussed further and I told them about our discussions at the AGM last year and the eagle and its presence for us and shared with them our final Wetipa logo, they were really struck by that and it included the eagle and this notion of young people and the children and the conversations in the Wetipa logo. That's the next version on the right in the black and with a special drum roll that is what has led us to our final logo for this specific and really exciting initiative within Wetipa's projects representing the eagle but also that commitment to youth empowerment and really working with young people in how we do what we do as well as in what we do. I just wanted to explain a little bit about how we've arrived at this logo and I hope you're as excited about it as we are. I should also really compliment Elias, Caroline and Lydia who worked together with a few different versions of the final logo and we've all landed on this one here with the circle. I hope you love it as much as we do and it's just a unifying mark that we can put on different things on social media or on anything we might produce for the academy that helps just visually connect all the learning and all the subjects that we're looking at through this chain of work. The last thing I'd like to do just as part of my remarks for this moment is just to say that this is the first of many moments we have together. Hopefully we plan to make this a monthly occasion where we'll come together for a session such as this that we will record. We'll edit it and make a shorter version available to others via LinkedIn who weren't able to join us but really want to make this a special moment together for conversation that we continue to develop with your ideas and with your feedback. So it is a genuinely co-designed process. So we have some ideas for speakers in the first few sessions. We'd love your suggestions. We'd love to know if there's something that you're really thinking about in the context of your work that you would love to lean on this group for to help solve. Please let us know. We can help find a speaker to help with that or we can think about our own experience in that particular issue and we can jointly create a session that might be very relevant to one person here but might resonate with others over time. Hopefully it's a beautiful process for the speakers we have here in terms of recognising the unique strengths and skills that they have that we can learn from but also we have some small things to give as a token of our appreciation for their time and sharing their expertise with us. In this first instance we have planned out a sort of a six month program meeting monthly and online in the first instance. I know there's a lot of interest for us to have some other types of meetings whether in person or more in depth workshop. That's something we'd love to consider in the future but for now we have some limited resources but we do have some resources to get going and this is the most effective way to get something started as we continue to refine the vision and listen to your feedback about what exactly it is that we can do to help support you to have the greatest possible social impact in your communities. Also at the end of this six months and if this is something you're interested in we'd be really happy to formalise it with a certificate of participation for people who've really been active in the program and participated in over 75% of the sessions or engaged with the recordings in some way. We can look at that as it evolves. It's not as formal as an academic setting but we would like to offer that certificate option for people who really are actively connected and active learners as part of the program. Then lastly as I know you all know that I'd really like to thank the people that have made this possible. We had no money for this other than a lot of vision and a lot of ideas and I've ran quite a few kilometres this year and some people have sponsored me and sponsored not only me but our vision for this initiative for the Social Impact Academy. We've raised just on $10,000 today. I heard that which is incredible and that means we can fund the start up of this for the first six months and hopefully beyond with a really strong foundation. So I just wanted to thank all of the sponsors individually and from the bottom of my heart for their support and their trust in us to guide this program going forward. With that I'd like to thank you for joining us tonight and to hand over to Elias to frame his remarks and also just really welcome Elias and Lydia and their leadership of this initiative going forward. It's very much supported by Wasiba and also very much an alumni led initiative too. So Elias I'll hand over to you and hopefully the screen sharing will be very smooth. Thank you. Thank you Dr Lucy. Good evening Dr Lucy and good afternoon to most of us. My name is Elias and today we are excited to officially launch the Watipa Social Impact Academy and before shipping this program we wanted to hear directly from you through a survey and this is the responses that we got from you. We needed to know the topics that alumni wanted covered and most of them suggested financial literacy, project management, grant writing, literacy, advocacy and lobbying, fundraising and resource mobilization, life skills, emotional intelligence and climate change. Then we also needed to know the preferred training formats and 80% preferred in-person workshops, 73% recommended online courses with 78% recommending webinars through community leaders, academics or even industrial professionals and 60% needed mentorship from alumni and scholars. Then what alumni hoped to gain from the academy, 100% of individuals on the responses, 100% of them were hoping to network internationally with 93% aiming to get advanced practical knowledge with increased community development commitment at 87% and also stronger Watipa connection at 87%, increased confidence at 73%, visits to community-based organization at 60%, local networking at 60% and theoretical knowledge at 63%. Then alumni comments and suggestions, so alumni suggested that we create a mentorship program that could act as an incubation incubator, innovation incubator, also host quarterly leadership summits, teach digital storytelling to showcase impact, include real-life case studies and community project collaborations. We'd also link alumni with professional institutions and promote practical learning and lastly offer certificates for participation. Then I would like to acknowledge each and every alumni that participated or shared their insights via the survey. Your input has shaped the direction of the Watipa Social Leadership Academy and together we are building a community of purpose-driven leaders for social impact. Those are the findings of the survey and thank you so much. I'd like to welcome Dr. Lewis. Thank you so much Elias and I love that, building a community of full-purpose leaders. It's a fabulous way to summarize the feedback from alumni and what has really helped inform this that we're launching here today. Now before we open up for questions, I'd actually really like to invite everyone to please switch on your camera so we can take a photo to mark this occasion with everyone who's here to help launch this initiative. If you're able to, please do switch on your camera. Also it would be nice to see your beautiful faces and we can see you don't have to leave it on for long. I know data is precious. But I can see Lydia, Elias, thanks for switching on. Lilla, Comfort, Naomi, Julia, if you're able to switch on that would be really nice just for one second. And Irene and Raheli. Welcome Irene. Hey Comfort. Hey Raheli. Okay, I don't know if perhaps Julia and Naomi can't join with their cameras. So let's, oh we've just lost Raheli. Oh there we go. Hey Naomi. And Julia, are you able to switch on your camera? Just for a split second, I'm not sure. Let me take one. Okay, three, two, one. Give me your beautiful smiles. Ready, three, two, one. That's awesome. Thank you. And thanks Elias. Feel free to switch it off now and save your data. And we've opened up for your questions about the Academy as a whole before we shift gears and focus on today's topics for discussion. Does anyone have any questions or comments they'd like to raise about what this is, the initiative, the Social Impact Leadership Academy of Watipa? Feel free to write something in the chat if that's easier. I can read that fine as well. Or if no one has any questions we can also skip ahead and come back to this. I don't mind. But feel free. And please do keep thinking particularly on key topics that might be of interest going forward. Do pop those in the chat as you let us know over WhatsApp or email because we're really happy to work on the program that best responds to the interests and needs of this group. So perhaps if no one has anything right now I'll hand over to you Lydia for the next part of the session. Thank you and I'll keep an eye on the chat. Thanks so much. Thank you so much. I'm sure everyone is excited with the launch of the... So after hearing the background, hearing the results of the alumni survey that we had, one of the components that was mentioned to be part of the Social Impact Academy was entrepreneurship. So in our very first meeting of the Social Impact Academy we decided to bring one speaker who would share on the entrepreneurship. So this speaker is none other than Rahely Nyasulu. So may I call upon Rahely Nyasulu to bring us a presentation on the entrepreneurship. That's one of the topics that we covered in the Social Leadership Academy. So everyone, welcome Rahely Nyasulu. Rahely, over to you. Thank you. I don't know if I can just use the audio instead of the video. I think that's okay. Okay, thank you. Where I am there is an internet connection. Okay, good afternoon everyone. So today I'm presenting on entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a very good investment. Is it okay if you share your screen? If you'll be able to. Unfortunately, I am unable to. That's why I was asking if possible I should just present. I will share the presentation later. Okay, if you don't mind, you can just WhatsApp me your presentation so that I can be hearing from the end. If that's okay with you. If not, then you can just present. Okay. Okay. I think if you can share it now, but if you cannot share it now, it's okay. You can just go on with the presentation. You can share it later so that we can share it to everyone. Okay, let me do that later because of some few issues. Okay, all right. That's fine. You can continue. Thank you. So entrepreneurship needs boldness. It needs perseverance, consistency. It needs somebody that is a risk taker and is an opportunistic. So, Lahiri Construction started in 2019. Now it has cropped six years since we started. So far, so good. I always give thanks to Atiba for helping me to finish my studies to be able to establish this one. So currently, we have two ongoing projects. One, we are constructing Kasama Technical College, which is a motorcycle mechanic workshop in Chitiba. The other project, we are constructing Mila Technical Institute, which is a four-in-one classroom block in Kalonga District. And these projects, they are all World Bank projects funded by through Teveta. So far, it has been a wonderful journey. There is so much that I'm learning from these two projects. Being World Bank projects, they are so involving. So many trainings involved, including the environmental and social safeguard issues, which are just so many. And we are supposed to meet the World Bank standard in these projects. So it's a really amazing project full of good lessons and is very inspiring. So far, we have about 50 people on both sides. Like the other 125, the other 125 who are working. And the project is supposed to finish by February next year. So the lessons that I have learned in this entrepreneurship journey is, one, perseverance. We need to keep going. There were times when I was starting, I was failing to even find a project because there is so much competition. There are so many contractors in our country. But I kept moving and I kept renewing my papers. I kept applying and applying. So far, I just appreciate. I really thank God because it shows we are growing as a company. Being able to employ 50 people is not easy in this economy of Malawi. Not easy at all. So another lesson I've learned in this entrepreneurship journey is the importance of self-employment. It really helps because there was a time I wasn't working. And it's the business that has kept me through those hard times where I was out of employment. But because of business, I was able to manage myself financially. Entrepreneurship is also good. It has helped me to network with various people. Like for now, in this project, I'm able to network with people from Tevita, people from the World Bank, people from these technical colleges. So that's the good advantage of entrepreneurship. It makes you to network with so many different people. And also, it's good for self-sustainability. It sustains you in hard times. And the challenges that I've experienced in entrepreneurship, one is competition. The competition is high. So many contractors, so many people who maybe even have more resources than you. And they have been in the industry longer than I. So the competition is really there. And another challenge is an unstable economy that our country is experiencing. Where the culture keeps devaluating. This really causes some issues on sites. Where the culture has devalued, but we still need to pay the people. We still need to finish the work at the same contract, agreed contract amount. But God has been good. And he has really been helping us to keep going. Despite all these challenges. I think that's all I have for today. Thank you. Thank you very much, Laheri. So informative, encouraging, and inspiring. I think I can now call upon questions. I can now call upon questions. Anyone who has questions can raise their hand. Okay, I see Naomi. Any other hands? Oh, it's just, it's not a hand. A reaction to the presentation. Anyway, questions? I have one question for you, Laheri. You've mentioned a few challenges that you've met through your journey. What were the solutions, or how did you go about with the challenges that you've had? You've mentioned, like, the competition, and also the devaluation of quality. My question is, how have you managed through the challenges that you've met? Another question is, to the youth here in Malawi, what key important messages or just when do you take the message that you give to the youth in Malawi on entrepreneurship? Because it's something that we can't deny here in Malawi. There is a lot of unemployment, and we need to change our mindset that we are not supposed to be employed, but we're also supposed to focus on entrepreneurship. So what key take-home message can you give to Malawian youth or any other youth in Africa about entrepreneurship that can inspire him or her? And if there are any other questions, please raise your hand so that I can recognize you. Thank you so much. On the challenges, number one, the market competition, I have been able to overcome, or I should say I'm still overcoming because it's not yet completely done, through trainings. We have been having various trainings, contractors' trainings done by NCIC. I've been able to participate in those trainings, so they have been teaching us on how to do our business profiles, how to be able to overcome the market competition. I also did a training by Women Creating Wealth Day from South Africa. It was a six-month training. They were training us on entrepreneurship. They were editing our profiles. They told us also to submit our business. So all those trainings, they have really been helping me to be able to see, okay, so here is the challenge that I'm experiencing. This is what I need to do. This is how I need to put my papers in order. This is how I need to be doing my quotations, be submitting my bid documents. So I've been improving by and by, and I think this is one reason that is helping me to be able to keep going. Another challenge, Unstable Economy. On this one, I remember the previous project we had last year. We are constructing a bridge in Salima. What we did was we asked for contract excursions from the clients. We managed to get some excursions because we are able to present to them to say, okay, when we are bidding for this week, this was the prices on the ground in the market, but now the valuation has happened. So the cost of leasing has gone high. So we need you to consider us. And thankfully now, the clients were able to understand and they helped us to excuriate. And also, we were also trained to say when we are bidding, we should be looking at those kinds of uncertainties, like the rising cost of leasing. So when we are charging for the works, we should include that. Just in case anything happened within that contract period, we should be able to handle it. So those trainings also have really helped me. And they are the ones which are really pushing me far. And I believe if I continue to attend more and more of these kinds of trainings, I will become better and better. And the message that I want to give to the youth of Malawi is entrepreneurship is good. Actually, I think it's the best way to go. Because even the Bible encourages us that we should invest in seven places, even in more than seven places, if we want to be successful in the land. So entrepreneurship is the best. I think it's the best thing that we can do. Because just relying on employment in our country is really hard. I have personally experienced that kind of unemployment and it's really hard to survive without one. So at least when you are an entrepreneur, you are able to maneuver. When the economy is hard, you are able to sell yourself out there in the market, get something and keep moving. So as much as entrepreneurship is not easy, especially for a beginner, because it needs financing. But I believe as a youth, just start. Whatever you have, as little as it is, just start. Little by little, you will learn how to multiply it, make it grow. Little by little, you will grow. The best time to start is now, it's not tomorrow. Because we don't know what tomorrow brings. So today is the best time to do so. Thank you. Thank you so much for that elaborate answer. I also see a hand from Dr. Lucy. So let me give you a chance, Dr. Lucy, to ask you a question. Over to you, Dr. Lucy. Thank you, Livia. Thank you so much, Roheli, for your really interesting and practical and inspiring remarks. I have a lot of notes. I think what you were just saying about continuing to train and improve skills and sort of lifelong learning is fantastic. Also, really practical suggestion of budgeting for the cost of living. These are things that we can do in our own planning as well as planning for a business. So thank you for that very practical suggestion or advice. My question for you, Lynx, is what you said at the very beginning of your talk about the characteristics of an entrepreneur. I'd love to know more about what was it that helped you take that first step to really jump in and have the confidence to get started. You said it takes boldness. It takes someone who's willing to take a risk. But it also is hard work. It needs the consistency of that. I wonder if you can think back to when you first took that big step. If there was something in particular that made you know that the time was right to give it a go. Okay, I registered my company when I was in fourth year in school. And one of the reasons why I registered was I was looking at the course I was studying as an engineer. I was looking at, okay, I used to ask questions about how I would be working at the industry. And the feedback that I was getting, I could see that it is really tough to be on the ground 24-7. So as a lady, I was looking at the best way to maximize the degree that I would get from the college. And I thought the best way is to be an entrepreneur. Because if I'm working for a contractor or for some company, one, the job would be tough for me because I need to be on the ground 24-7, on the stand, on the land when it's raining. And as a lady, I think that didn't sit well with me. So I was like, how best can I enjoy this field, this journey? So when I did my research, I found that the best way is to be the business owner. When you own your own business, you are able to control how much you get. You are able to control some things because you are able to employ other people who will be working for you. So they make your life easier and better than when you are just employed and you are waiting for salary from your boss. And when your boss tells you he doesn't have money, you have no choice. It's really hard. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Lahely. I see a hand from Aria. Yes, so over to you, Aria. Thank you so much, Lahely, for the elaborate discussion on entrepreneurship. And me being with you in the same field, I would like to know what qualities do you look when you are hiring or even building your team? And question number two, how do you keep your team motivated in the long run, especially in demanding projects like the one you are doing with the World Bank? And question number three, how do you win clients' trust, especially when you are still growing? Thank you. Okay, thanks, Elias. Okay, how I identify the team to work with, I look at their experience. That's the first thing to say, how many projects have they been involved in? What are their experiences? So if it's, for example, the foreman, they need to show me pictures of the projects that they have successfully carried out so that I'm convinced to trust them with my job. Otherwise, I feel like when you employ people who have little experience, it's really hard. Sometimes they might not even do the job in the right way. But when you employ people who have papers, who have experience, they make your job easier. And to motivate them, we inspire them with giving them good pay and also at the same time, constant communication. I make sure that I am constantly on site so that I'm able to hear their grievances, if there are any, and we sit down and see how the best way to resolve them. So I encourage open communication whereby if anyone has an issue, they should come directly to me. We talk and we discuss and resolve them before they escalate and bring a lot of problems on site. So I believe that with clear, proper, and open communication, it's easy. But where there is poor communication, I think these construction works can really be tiresome. I hope I've answered all your questions. There's one more. How do you win the client's trust, especially when you're still young and still growing as a company? Okay, like for this project, the client, they had to do due diligence before they even gave us the contract. So they had to visit that I previously did to appreciate the work for them to find me qualified. So they had to visit my office to check that I have all the necessary equipment, the personnel, and everything to see that I am capable. So it wasn't really easy, but we made it through. Thank you. Okay, thank you very much, Raphaeli, for all the answers that we have heard. Elaborate, and I believe everyone here is enjoying the interaction with you, the discussion with you. It has been so nice and very informative. I believe there are no other questions. We are coming to an end of our launch today. I just want to thank you, everyone, for making it to attend the launch today. I know some logged in and we have already started, but don't worry. Everything has been recorded and will be shared on the WhatsApp column. So don't feel that you've missed out something. You'll be able to catch up with everyone. So I appreciate everyone for making time to attend the launch. For us, I would also like to appreciate the Talusi and the organizing committee and everyone who is behind the WANIFRA Social Impact Leadership Academy. It was just a dream that now it has come true. And I believe we look forward to more activities and a lot of things that are co-occurring and also bringing our alumni in contact and also to interact with the rest of the world. So I would also like to appreciate everyone who has also contributed to this launch and also to the donors, especially in Australia, who have managed to get to the target amount that we are looking for. As adjourned, Chair, I would like to call upon Dr. Talusi to officially declare the WANIFRA Social Leadership Academy launched and also to give us a final remark for the day. Thank you. Thank you very much, Lydia, and echoing thanks to everyone for being here today. Thank you for helping us launch this. I now would like to officially declare that the Wetipa Social Impact Leadership Academy has been launched. We have had our first session and thank you for being part of this. The next one we hope will be in mid-December. We have a very busy time coming. You will have seen we have Wetipa's AGM coming up on the 4th of December. You're all very warmly invited to that, as always. And then we will have our update on the scholarship announcement on the 10th of December for Human Rights Day. And then perhaps that's also a good week to have our second and probably the last one for the year, our second session for this academy. So it's hugely exciting. Thank you for being with us today. And I wonder if perhaps we try one more photo, as we now have a few other people. We have Prudence. Welcome. I know unfortunately our prof here has joined us as well, which is wonderful. Boateng is here. So let's perhaps, if you're able to turn on your camera, let's try one final picture to celebrate this momentous achievement for us all and how exciting for the journey ahead in this academy. So if you're able to, please do switch on your camera. Hey, Julia, great to see you. That's awesome. I'll try and catch her photo. Hey, Boateng. Hi, Raheli. Thank you for your presentation. It was fantastic. And I aspire to have 50 people working for Wetipa one day. That would be amazing. Comfort, if you're able to switch on your camera, please do. Prudence, prof here, that would be amazing. We'll try and get one more picture to celebrate the launch. If you're not able to, that's okay. Okay, what's a good, can we all do some funny hand gesture, a big thumbs up or a big smile? I'm looking at some of the earliest. Okay, all right. Awesome. Give me a big thumbs up and I'll try and get a good picture. All right. Thanks, everyone. Oh, here comes Maureen. Hey, Maureen. It's so nice. Hey, hey, Lucy and everybody. Thanks so much for being here for the launch. I saw your name and I was excited. Yes, and congratulations, everybody. Congratulations, Lucy, for the vision and indeed the achievement that today is history. Thank you. Big day. Thanks, everyone. Enjoy it. Enjoy your Sunday with a big smile. We'll see you soon. Have a great day. Thank you. Travel well. Bye. Thank you, everyone. Bye. Bye. Bye.
