In 1998, Ryan Hreljac's class in Kemptville, Ontario, was raising money to dig wells in Africa. The teacher explained that although getting water for most Canadians was as easy as turning on the TV, many children in Uganda had to walk over three miles each day to collect water for their families. Some children walked up to six hours every day to get water, leaving little time for school - not to mention anything fun!
Ryan's teacher explained that even after the kids put in all those hours of work, the water was often unsafe to drink. Many children died from drinking unclean water.
The teacher explained to the first-grade class that $70 was enough to dig a new well that could provide water for a whole Ugandan village. Remember, to a six-year-old child, that is a lot of money.
Ryan hoped it wouldn't seem like that much money to his parents. When he got home from school that day, he told his mom and dad that he needed $:70 for a well in Africa. At first his parents didn't take him seriously (认真地)，but the next night, Ryan brought it up again. And when his parents refused again, he brought it up one more time the next night.
