Imagine if you can, 12 individuals who have never before worked together. They arrive in a foreign country and set up shop in hospitals in varying states of development. They are committed to helping disadvantaged people live better, more productive lives. The help they offer is highly specialized and often unavailable to poor people in developing countries.
The hospital has its own challenges: plugs that don't work, cold water only, which runs intermittently, toilets we really don't want to talk about, a recovery room without air-conditioning...the list goes on. It is challenging to mix 12 strangers together, put them in a new and very different environment and ask them to perform at peak level. But that is exactly what they are doing here, for two intense weeks.
The local doctors and nurses are pleased to have us here. The Vietnamese nurses scrub in and assist the American surgeons. The local surgeons come to observe difficult cases. The hospital has requested the team give some lectures.
The first child comes in for surgery and I am sobered. Lives are at risk. There is an energy in the air as the team gets ready and anesthesia is administered.

DOWNTOWN - It took the well coordinated teamwork of more than eighty members of the Los Angeles Fire Department a little more than an hour to fully extinguish stubborn flames from an outside fire that extended into and consumed a uniform supply business in a two-story strip mall at the corner of Wall Street and Pico Boulevard in the Fashion District early February 3, 2022. The fire thankfully caused no injury.

These ants carried this left over prawn legs from the bottom of the garbage pail. At this point they have lifted it from the bottom of the pail to the top of the pail. They will eventually take it about 15 feet up the tree to their nest. It takes real teamwork to pull this off!

Talking with people.The old UNICEF staff hark back to when Jim Grant was the Executive Director. They tell tales of a world without internet and management software, when UNICEF’s job was to take the words of the people to the ear of the minister, when what counted was mud on your boots..I had one of those days Monday and it was wonderful. I went out to coach a team from our Kankan field office on how to monitor projects. We got to Niagassola at the end of the day. It is a small village in the far North East of the country. From the tarmac it was about a three hour drive along a track over dusty plains some chalk white others with the red grit of laterite. .After dark we settled down with men and women from the village. The weather was 23c, with a damp mist in the air. I have never felt such cold weather in Upper Guinea. So we huddled together around a fire. They told up about how the school and the health centre were working and what were their biggest concerns for themselves and their children. I got the feeling that people in Niagassola are not shy of telling us what they think, but there is something about talking in the dark at the end of the day that loosens up your tongue. There was a Griot, a story teller, a poet, in the group and he conjured up words from the fire to show us how things were. .We sat, listened and noted. We were with a couple of colleagues from the government who were from the regional administrative capital in Kankan. Both experienced, senior officials, it was a first for them, so they said, to sit down and hear what the people had on their minds.

April 15, 2010--The teamwork activity that almost wasn't. Here is the team from Norway (awesome pants and all) completing the teamwork activity that involved using straws to blow a variety of balls onto a target area at the center of a table.
I don't often think of my kids as twins anymore (they are), but this picture reminds me of their closeness!
