Well done, Ryan! How an11-year-old Canadian boy
became the hero of an African village. Tijn
Touber April 2003 issue When six-year-old
Ryan Hreljac learned at school that there are
many children in Africa without clean drinking
water, he decided to help. Ryan, who lives in a
small town near Ottawa, in Canada, was told by
his teacher that CDN70 is all it costs to dig a
well. So he asked his parents for 70. Ryan's
mother, Susan, put him to work vacuuming and
washing the windows, and after four months he had
earned the money. Ryan 'When I brought the money
to Watercan - the organisation that digs the
wells - its director told me that 70 was enough
to buy a hand pump, but not enough to dig a well.
That took 2,000. So I had to make more money.'
Luckily, the Canadian International Development
Agency was prepared to provide half of the sum.
Ryan went to work with heightened zeal, and this
time his buddies joined in. Ryan 'My friend
Spencer donated all his report card money, and
Jeff turned up with all the loose money he could
spare.'

A boy who makes a difference

• By Diana Federman / January 2, 2007
• One person can make a difference. Just ask Ryan
  Hreljac (pronounced hurl-jack), who is 15 and
  lives in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of
  wells that now provide fresh water for people in
  Africa, Central America, and India might never
  have been built.
• Ryan is what you might call a water ambassador.
  He travels the world to tell people how they can
  help solve a big problem the lack of safe
  drinking water in many developing countries.
• "Everybody can do something," Ryan says.

Dear Jimmy, It must be cool to have a house made
out of grass. I am 8 now. Do you drink from my
well every day? What is your favourite subject
in school? I am going to Uganda when I am 12. My
house is made of bricks. Write back soon. Your
friend, Ryan.
