In regards to the 2nd water well, myself and other community members in our Discord have been discussing having this 2nd well built in India, rather than Bangladesh.  

The reasons being:
  • Cost - The cost is the same.
  • Repetition - We already paid for building one well in Bangladesh. We should spread the love. This would also give us a new pushpin location on our wiki project map.  
  • Community presence - We do have community members in India. Long-standing community members will remember the hardships they experienced at the hand of a pump and dumper countrymen of theirs. Some to the tune of many, many thousands of dollars. I do feel this would be a good gesture to those community members.  
  • Timeline - As you may remember, we did experience longer than expected turnaround for completion of the 1st well in Bangladesh. I did ask a Penny Appeal representative and they did say to expect those same delays again in Bangladesh. "We are having issues with Bangladesh at the moment so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend anyone to donate a water well there...", I was told earlier today. I was advised these delays would not be present with a well in India.

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.

Thank you for the continued support that has made this possible.

Completely agree that it makes sense to build in different places - I was looking at Africa last year too, but the cost of building there was much higher per well for various reasons
