The demonstration kit got off to a slow start as we didn’t anticipate how difficult sourcing the correct materials would be. We have spent this week trying different quantities of various materials to find the combination to give the best results. Today we (finally!!) achieved good results and managed to make dirty water clear, a useful operation for a water filter.

The final results!!

Using hi-tech equipment (our bin) to disperse water over the filter

Now we will move on to demonstrating the microfiltration and UV filtration. This will be a totally different challenge as we have the kit used the station and we need to adapt it to make it easier to understand visually. We already have a few ideas but as we are learning, most of our initial ideas don’t go to plan!

We are still working on the report in the evenings when we have the use of the office computers and it is coming along nicely.

Last night we visited the impressive Battambang Funfair. It consisted of 5 rides, one of which was a rollercoaster than didn’t go above my height but looked older than all of us combined. I think the locals got more amusement from us than we did from the rides but it was fun to try out.
