President Jackie Curry and the youth of Ebenezer Union Baptist Church in Farmer’s Hill, Exuma, are actively working on their spiritual as well as their physical development.

During their most recent meeting, Bridgette Evans – a staff nurse, midwife and community health nurse for the past 25 years – lectured on hygiene. Topics discussed included taking proper baths, brushing and flossing teeth, wearing appropriate clothing, along with perfume and cologne, hair care, washing hands, especially at school, and cough etiquette.

Ms Curry said she wants to ensure that the church’s young members can be confident wherever they go that they are properly groomed and presentable, whether in public or in their school environment.
