Hello everyone! This is Aleem writing to you from Don Klang. Today's day started out a little bit differently than normal as Trey, Sai, Pastor Mike and me went to the school at midnight to remove the forms from modules 2 and 3. With a little bit of effort, the forms came lose relatively easily and the team has now officially completely cast 3 out of the 5 sink modules.
After returning and sleeping for a couple of hours, the team woke up a little early today and was on the road by 6:15 AM. Our destination was a SCG cement plant. Through our technical adviser Dr. Ferron, we were put in contact with Dr. Wilasa, who worked at SCG and helped us secure a cement donation from the company for our project. Furthermore, they invited the team to visit one of their cement plants! When the team arrived, we were greeted with one of the teams favorite Thai things to eat - mango and sticky rice! After a brief introduction, various engineers from SCG took their time to explain us the process of cement making. Next, the team visited the limestone quarry on site and the control rooms of the whole operation. It was amazing to see all the equipment used in the manufacturing of cement. Following lunch, the team toured the rest of the SCG site. We visited a learning center and got a quick lesson on plastering and even saw 3D printed concrete structures. Lastly, we ended the tour by visiting the shale quarry and reservoir. Finally, following dinner, the team arrived back in Don Klang ready for the next day. The whole team would like to specially thank SCG and Dr. Wilasa for hosting us so graciously and for their generous donation. Best, Aleem
