This project is not over. Especially with all these donations that have poured in, I definitely plan to continue at least until the majority of these donations have been properly spent. Even though a lot of people have made donations specifically for my personal expenses, I’m not comfortable – and would like to avoid – spending such funds on the problem of the broken harddrive.
Basically, over the next few days, I’m going to have to figure out what I will do next. Do I try and fly home and have this harddrive fixed under warranty? Do I invest in a new hard drive and have a friend (or friendly expat) bring it into Bangladesh for me? Or do I try and fix it locally – if that’s at all possible – and risk voiding the warranty?
I always knew something would break down sooner or later. But the likely culprits always seemed to be my MacBook or my camcorder – which I usually take with me everywhere I go. I never imagined that my two-month old LaCIe (brought in from the States with a lot of luck) would die so quickly.
In the meantime, there are still a few things planned. Even if I do have to fly back home to sort this stuff out, I hope to have at least one (very important) episode up before I have to fly back home.
as salam alaikum bro.

I am of the opinion that you could really benifit from taking a (short?) trip back home, to regroup and maybe even relax a bit
Your an awesome inspirational person doing awesome inspirational things… but everyone deserves a break, you had said your grandmother was starting to feel the strain, she might benefit from a bit of time off herself. But I’m sure whatever you chose to do will be the right decision! Good Luck
