Attached is the first part of the report from Dr. Kingsley Donkor and Megan Campbell of the Thompson Rivers University Chemistry department analyizing water from the first of two filters that were brought to be evaluated for the possiblility of problems with Barium in clay used to form filters. These results are for the new 100% Plainsman red earth filter. You can read the report but essentially even analysis of a un flushed filter shows the barium level to be one third of the allowable limit initially and then reduced to one third of that level very quickly.

A big challenge is getting the press through customs and into the places where it is most needed. So Creative Machines developed a highly portable press that could be disassembled and checked as airplane luggage. Even though our press can produce 20 tons of force, it can be disassembled and made to fit in a suitcase. It is so small it doesn’t even incur an oversize fee. This 5-1/2 minute video shows the press being tested for the first time by Potters for Peace.
I am home in BC and alert after a few days. I was coming down with something- maybe malarial maybe not, so I took a curative dose of my malarials so that I wouldn t have to worry. I also had a bad chest cold and was given a course of antibiotics- for what its worth I feel fine.
Attached is the Senegal final report first draft sent out this morning. I included my daily log. This went out to KOICA, the Korea International Cooperation Agency, with whom I was working for their reponse. The two engineers with who I worked are: Joohyun Kim, and Je-Min Lee.
Ron Rivera originally received the request on this project. We had a number of concerns regarding this start up but we agreed to be generous in implementing the start up. -The nearest ceramic producers of any sort were also quite far away as well. Still the enthusiasm on the part of the lead personnel convinced us to proceed.
