I tip my hat to Ryan Hreljac.
Aged of only six years old, this praiseworthy Canadian kid was determinated to help people in Africa, building a well for them. Touched by a class in which his teacher Cathy Prest talked about water problems in African continent, he decided to do something.

It started with $70, charged by doing some home services for his parents. Later, he raised the amout of $2,000 with neighborhood contribution. His first well was built in 1999, when he was seven. Today, he has his own Foundation, which has raised millions of dollars, contributing a total of 518 water and sanitation projects in 16 countries serving over 640,000 people.
How only a single person can change the world? With will (whatever the age). Small initiatives, anyone, count.
Watch a little passage of Ryan's Well, a documentary about this inspiring story.
