The morning starts with a reflection presented by the Maldives on the topic of 'Believe', as an aspect of the conference's theme: Believe, Belong, Be More.
Mary McPhail delivered a presentation about the strategic direction of WAGGGS leading up to the year 2020, which sparked some vigorous discussions.
The conference participants then divided into various focus groups to provide input into the WAGGGS membership development strategy, WAGGGS governance issues and an evaluation of WAGGGS's work. This feedback is being sought at each of the five Regional Cnfefence and will be fed back to the World Board ahead of the World Conference to be held in Hong Kong next year.
The fourth Tasmanian present at the conference, Jen Barron, gave an entertaining explanation of the work of, and opportunities available at, the five World Centres. We enjoyed a game of Celebrity Heads with a World Centre focus.
In the evening an International Bazaar was held at which each country had a stall to sell various souvenirs to raise money for the AP region. Australia raised $229 selling badges, Tim Tams, magnets, cards and Furry Friends.
Jane and Joan each received their Friends of Asia Pacific WAGGGS membership pins from Dr Juseon Buyn, founder of FAPW.
Everyone was in magnificent national dress and the night ended with music and dancing.
