Ryan Says, "Clean Water for All!" By Jody Williams

---

¹     Ryan Hreljac was born on May 31, 1991. When he was in first grade, his teacher talked about people in Africa. He learned that people had to walk a long way just to get water. Ryan could not believe it! He wanted to do something to help.
 
²     Ryan told his parents what he learned in school. He asked them for seventy dollars. He thought that was how much it cost to drill a well in a village. Ryan's parents said that he could do extra chores to earn the money. Four months later Ryan had earned the money.
 
³     Ryan took the money to a charity that builds wells in Africa. He found out that building a well costs two thousand dollars. Ryan said, "I'll just do more chores." In 1999, the Ryan's hard work paid off. Ryan's first well was built at a school in a Ugandan village. Ryan actually visited Uganda. He saw his well in action.
