photo of Davida

Davida Johns is the stateside organizer of an organization called ProNica - in favor of Nicaragua, folks who reach out to some Latin American friends, providing life-enhancing assistance to a country badly treated by the US government. Davida came to this job following her experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Belize when she was in her 50's.

Davida grew up in Georgia, rebelled against unthinking obediance since she was a 7-year old feminist, and found a spiritual home with Quakers in her 40's.
