Thursday, October 21 was quite an active day starting with the Chapter Presentations hosted by Mary Jean Eisenhower. We have all listened to amazing presentations and yearly reports from all the Chapters that were present, below are the Chapters represented:

The next sessions was Bio-Energy and the Environment by Ahmed El Dorghamy which caught the attention of everyone. All the delegates wrote down all the things that they will do to personally make a change in their community to have a better and sustainable world.
Lunch was on the Mediterranean Sea.
We then stopped by the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
"Bibliotheca Alexandrina or Library of Alexandria: is a major library and cultural center located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. It is both a commemoration of the Library of Alexandria that was lost in antiquity, and an attempt to rekindle something of the brilliance that this earlier center of study and erudition represented." Wikipedia
Inside the library we have had a local tour of the entire library with all it's departments, museums and exhibitions. We visited the Antiquities Museum, the Impressions of Alexandria Exhibition, Sculptures without Boundaries Exhibition, Anwar El Sadat Museum and the Ancient Egyptian History Exhibition.
The day ended with an oriental Egyptian dinner.
