4 Five years ago,11-year-old Ryan Hreljac was a little boy with a big dream:for all the people in Af-
rica to have clean drinking water. His dream began in the first grade when he learned that people were dying
because they didn't have clean water,and that as little as $70 could build a well."We really take water
for granted,"says Ryan,of Kemptville,Ontario,in Canada."In other countries,you have to plan for it."
Ryan earned the first $70 by doing extra chores(零工),but with the help of others, he has since
raised
hundreds of thousands of dollars.His efforts led to the start of the Ryan's Well Foundation,which raises
money for clean water and health-related services for people in African countries and developing countries.
