The Well That Changed The World

There used to be some problems in many developing African countries,     1     which how to get enough drinking water was the largest. Ryan, a six-year-old Canadian schoolboy, had difficulty     2     (believe) it, because there were quite a few drinking fountains in his small school. “Life is easy for me, but hard for them,” he thought     3     himself, “why don’t I help?”

    4     (determine) to build a well in Africa for them, he tried and managed to earn 70 dollars in a few months. However, he     5     (tell) he needed to make at least 2,000 dollars to have a well dug in Africa. He then started to ask     6     could donate money in his school and neighborhood for help. Only in a few months, he raised 2,000 pounds, with which a well was built near a primary school in Uganda. The local people were too grateful for what he     7     (do) for them and invited him to visit.

On arriving there, Ryan was struck by the     8     (surprise) poor life they lived. But all the students were always wearing a big smile on their faces. Nervous though he was on the first few days, what he saw filled him with     9     (warm) soon.

Today, more and more people joined him,     10     this makes it possible to build more wells. Tens of thousands of people in Africa have benefited.
