Greetings from Thailand! Today has been a crazy day to say the least. The day began earliest for Sofia and Pim who left around 6:30 to work on our concrete mix with Dr. Ferron. The rest of the team joined them at the school at 8:30 to finish up the form work for the second and third sink modules. After sweating up a storm for an hour or so we took a break to hang out with some of the students. The jump rope and chalk were a raging success and left the team feeling rejuvenated and motivated to continue working until lunch. When we returned from lunch, the real work began. The formwork for the second and third modules was done and after countless trial batches we finally figured out a mix that would work!! Next the team batched out the sand, cement, water, and aggregates for the concrete. The last few hours of the day all hands were on deck to mix and pour the cement (shoutout to taylor swift, the jonas brothers, and avril lavigne for keeping our spirits up). Although today has been an exhausting day, I am ecstatic to say that we have poured 3/5 modules of sinks!!!! We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow, so I tried to keep it short!!
Sending lots of love from Thailand and more importantly, go Cavs! xoxo, Julie
