The Story of Ryan
 “One day, I was listening carefully to Jean-Michel Cousteau, the famous ambassador of the marine world. It's not everyday that you meet such a great eco-warrior. It was in Sydney and I went on such a long flight to meet him. The story he told me captured my imagination. It was something that really needs to be known by many kids and adults!
Jean-Michel told me about this kid of six years old, Ryan Hreljac, who lives in Canada. Ryan learned through a TV report that without access to clean water, people (especially kids) become ill and sometimes even die.
So Ryan set out on a mission: raise US$70 towards building a well in Africa. Well Ryan reached this goal in 4 months. But he didn’t stop there. He kept on working and organizing and has now raised over US$1,000,000. His work has helped change the lives of over 350,000 people in ten African countries! Jean-Michel told me that I could find more information about Ryan at this website, www.ryanswell.ca, but I will let you guys do that. I think I’m going to fly to Canada and meet Ryan!
Thank Jean-Michel for showing us that everyone can help and take action! Don’t forget to stop by his website at www.oceanfutures.org.
