A strong will

I was watching tv spoke by Wyne Dryer. His book is soo dry but I do enjoy listen his prenstation(speech) better than his book on PBS channel. He spoke a guy named Ryan. He's only about 8 years old. He wants the to give a world a better place. In Africa, those people drink dirty water. He want to set up a well. It's cleaner that way. So, he cleans the house and raking people's yard and cutting grasses. He earned up to 200 dollars but found out later that it is really cost $7,000 dollars. So, he continue to work until he earn $7,000 dollars and donate for a well in Africa. The people there in Africa invite Ryan to come. So, he and his mother did came. There is a name Ryan's Day for the well. Later, he also earned 1 million dollars to donate the rest of wells for Africa. Imagine such a 8 years old boy who could do that. He even invite to do the Oprah but he declined! Because he have imporant thing at school. His mother was shocked. "Are you sure you want to declined? It's Oprah!" Yet, he did. Of course, Oprah was willing to work a way round to fit the Rayn schudale(sp?) so he can come. Amazing. I saw him standing up. He looks like he's 12 years old by now. Wow! That's incredible! If he can do that, so can we!
