On the first day of the academy, the 9th of October, we started with an introductory session whereby each delagate will give a brief introduction to all the 19 delegates so that we could no each other in terms of general knowledge like hobbies, your name, institution you work for and also your expectation of the academy. Although I am the only man in the group of 19 ladies, there was not much difference as I fitted like a glove and also everybody made sure that I do not feel isolated.
