our team

With Habitat for Humanity we work in teams of 10. On our team are two guys from Seattle (both between jobs, one a former firefighter), one woman from Nova Scotia going through an icky divorce after 18 years, and a salon owner from San Diego (our leader) and five of her employees.

Today I would have felt a bit self-conscious about showing my face in front of beauticians, but they looked as bad as me. It's hard work, but that's next post.

We work together pretty well - most people dig in, though a couple of the young women haven't worked much before. I try not to be bossy, but the youngest often stands around so I hand her tools and tell her what to do. She seems to appreciate it - I think she just doesn't see what to do, which i can certainly understand.

Some teams consist of people who came together, others are amalgamations like ours.
