| Post subject: | IBC systems at a school in Kandahar Afghanistan |
I was contacted by a lovely lady who works for the US army over in Afghanistan, she is wanting to set up a couple of IBC systems for a school that is being built over there. She has sent me a few pics and will keep some more pics coming as they get things set up (with approvals to publish We are working on getting some pumps sent over for them at the moment, as well as some fittings and information for the kids. Hope to keep this updated often as it progresses.. The school still under construction.. Attachment: 111213-A-DK015-009 (Medium).jpg [ 49.07 KiB | Viewed 12607 times ] Inside the classroom.
