Nutrition Experts - Making a Difference
Highlights from the 76th FDA Annual Symposium


The presentation for the 2011 Florida Dietetic Association Member reception highlights Nutrition Experts - "Making a Difference."

The background song is called "Together We Can Change the World (TWCCTW)." TWCCTW played a major role in bringing over an African Youth Choir called SIFA. The goal was to raise money for the children to take back to Uganda in order to finish building their orphanage and to build new homes for them to live in. See the footnote for the complete story behind the song.1
