BMPC member, Betsy Miller leaves for Johannesburg, South Africa on July 30
to present a poster on "Health and Safety Consultation to a South African Early Learning and Child Care Center"  at the 26th International Pediatric Association Congress (click here). The poster explains the serendipitous Child Care Health Consultation encounter at Pam's Pastoral Center Pre-school and Crèche during the 2007 Senior Choir Tour. Betsy will spend 3 1/2 days at Pam's Crèche to teach the children & staff proper hand washing procedures, oral hygiene, cleaning & sanitizing. Betsy thanks the church members who helped raise funds to purchase toothbrush holders for Pam's Crèche.
