Six-year-old Canadian schoolboy Ryan couldn't believe that many people in (develop) African countries couldn't get enough clean water. So, Ryan decided (earn) money to build a single well somewhere in Africa. He (clean) windows and did gardening for his family and neighbors, reaching his first target of $70 soon. But he (tell) that $70 wasn't enough for a well. He started to ask for help from his classmates and neighbors and persuaded (they) to donate money. At same time, a friend of Ryan's mother helped make his story go public. After several months, Ryan had raised the $2, 000, with a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The children at the school were grateful him and invited him to visit. He (real) had made a difference for these children.
Later, Ryan set up a foundation to encourage more people to help. Many (inspire) people gave him their support. Today, over 800, 000 people in 16 countries across Africa have benefited from the life-changing gift of clean, safe water.
