Nicaragua: Strong Leadership

It takes strong leadership to pull 6 people together into a cohesive team in a very short period of time. 
I certainly feel Judy has accomplished that on this trip.
There is a feeling in the team that we're breaking records - 387 children receiving bedkits but only requiring 13 photographs!
Yesterday we gave out 400 bedkits before noon and we were told that "we are a well-oiled team"!
Judy quietly works away in the background to smooth the way for our successes always accentuating the positives.
Each of us on the team strives to do our best to help fulfill SCAW's mandate.
We had an early start to our 7th distribution in Santa Barbara stopping on the way to see a dam.  We had only taken a few group photographs when it started to rain.
Mysteriously a tarp appeared, was strung up, and we were back in business.  I thought that I had seen all facets of Judy's leadership skills, but was surprised when, at the end of the day, she stomped on a scorpion so we could continue packing up equipment.
