One of the ongoing projects here is a simple concept: spray-apply foam to the various living and meeting tents in Iraq. It makes a huge improvement in comfort by helping retain the air conditioning (or heat in the winter), and carries the added benefit of quieting external noise, like generators, for sleep tents. It hasn't been easy, though: it takes a surprising amount of logistics to get the foam, equipment, training and decent wind conditions all lined up.
The tent here shows the initial application of foam, just last month. Looks like a giant marshmallow! But under the sun, it quickly became a Twinky.
This particular tent has been christened “Holy Joes” – our chaplain uses it for meetings, complete with both hot & cold coffee bar, and a small projection and sound system for inspirational videos or music. More on that in my next post.
