History created with youngest participant in a Be Breast Aware Workshop - 19 June 2004
| The ladies going through the motions of the “look” aspect of self breast examination | 
| It was time for the lying down aspect of self breast examination as Dr Evelyn Ho attended to each one to ensure their technique was correct | 
| Role play is very much part of the interactive workshop | 
| Partipants put on their thinking caps for some of the exercises given during the workshop |
The 2nd public workshop of 2004 was held on the 19 June 2004 at Johnson & Johnson Medical, Wisma Zuellig, Petaling Jaya. History was created when one of the participants in the workshop was a 15 year old. Starting people young would be best so that they would have inculcated the habits of good breast health as they mature. Hopefully with adequate and appropriate knowledge, the fear and anxiety that may be associated with self breast examination and breast conditions will be eliminated.
The 15 ladies of various ages included one breast cancer survivor of 3 years. As usual, there was fun and laughter in addition to hands on sessions. Time just flew and it was 6.30pm before dismissal from the workshop.
Special thanks to Irene Chan, Francis Lee and Johnson & Johnson Medical for enabling this workshop.
