Later, he went to visit his well in Africa and met his pen pal, Jimmy. They became friends. A few years later, Jimmy was captured by the Ugandan rebel forces, where he would have been forced to be a child soldier, or killed. He managed to escape, and Ryan's family brought him to Canada to keep him safe. In the end, they adapted Jimmy and now they are truly brothers.
Ryan started the Ryan's Well Foundation and has now brought clean water to more than 500,000 people all over the world.
Next week, we will be having a Spirit Week to raise money for the Ryan's Well Foundation as part of our Lenten Project. Please donate what you can and have your child participate in the following activities:
- Tuesday - Jersey Day
- Wednesday - Favourite character day
- Thursday - Crazy hat/Hair day
- Friday - Tacky tourist day
