For the reasons listed above, I suggest we build the 2nd water well in India. The resounding response in Discord was, "Location does not matter much. As long as we were helping those in need."
If no one has any objections to this, we will pay for the well in India this week. Please feel free to express any opinion.
To add to that, from the discord discussion there might be other locations as well so when we get to the 3rd, 4th etc. wells India and Bangladesh aren't the only options.
However I think India for the 2nd well works well with the reasons Steven as laid out above.
Yes. At the same price level, Nepal and Pakistan are options we can pursue in the future also. Sir Lanka was added as an option when paying with British pounds, but not yet as an option for when paying with US dollars. To avoid conversion fees, paying with US dollars is optimal and preferred, but is not a requirement. But we certainly will explore all options in the future for additional wells.
I'll check out where my charity staking is pushing to tomorrow - will be good to help build more wells =)
