On August 8 he toured the Bana SCAM nursery and primary school, the ITAS humanities institute, the SCAM factory, and Pandji Tshela referral hospital, which runs on a 24-hour hybrid solar-hydrogen system built by INNOTECK with Congolese engineers. Group structures presented included rural health (SRC), rural development (DRC), and rural education (ERT), supported by the Blattner Fund.
