RYAN'S WELL

RYAN’S WELL:

In a little village in the south of Canada, there is a young boy who went to school one day and his teacher began talking about children in Africa who lacked drinking water.

He was only 6 years old and they said in the classroom that if you raised $ 70, that’s all it would take to create a well in a village in Africa, so that they didn’t have to drink dirty water again.

 .

Something happened to the spirit of this young man at only 6 years and he went to his parents and told them that he wanted to build a well. It was a powerful idea and nothing is impossible with an idea whose time has come. When an ides has come and it resonates within you, it can’t be stopped.

The boy did extra chores to raise more money apart from his own savings. After sometime, he was able to put together $ 70. And he went to his teacher and they went to this place that had given the information only to discover that it took more that it took more than the 70 bucks. It was a misinformation. It really cost $ 2000.

He said, “then I will do more chores.” Because he knew that this is a friendly world, not one that you give up easily. He got the neighborhood, his friends and parents involved. He managed to raise the 2000 bucks.

His name is Ryan. That is just the beginning of the story. As it turns out, he sent the money to this small village in Uganda where they were able to build the well. Ryan and his mum were invited to Africa to come and speak to the children of that village. He went over there and he began to give talks. People welcomed him there and they were so grateful to this boy who had a vision of bringing clean water. They were so touched by it, that they named the well after him and a day after him too to make it even the more memorable- “Ryan’s day”. They even went on to create a documentary about him called: ‘Ryan’s well’

Today, that boy has raised over 1 million dollars for water and other projects to the villages in Africa that drank dirty water or lacked water. He has gone on to give inspiring lectures of hope worldwide.

.

Ryan’s family ended up adopting a child soldier-jimmy from D.R.C. and they have become loving brothers since then. Ryan ahs appeared on Oprah and also featured on Dr. Dwayne Dyer’s inspiration programmes. Infact, Oprah went on to name Ryan among her most inspiring young people. Ryan has taught the world and Africa as a whole that nothing can stop anyone who believes that they can create something, if that idea is within them.
