Thank you for joining us for Spotlight. I'm Joshua Leo. And I'm Liz Waid.

Spotlight uses a special English method of broadcasting. It is easier for people to understand no matter where in the world they live.

Ryan Hreljac sat in his school classroom in Kemptville, Canada. He was just six years old. He listened closely to his teacher.

His school was collecting money for people in Africa.

His teacher explained that many people in the world did not have medicine or clean water.

Hundreds of thousands of African children die each year, because of diseases in dirty water.

Ryan's teacher told the class that sixty [60] cents could buy a two months supply of medicine for a child.

Seventy dollars would pay for a well. A well would give clean drinking water to a whole village.

When Ryan heard this, he knew that he had to do something.

Even though he was only six years old, he would change thousands of lives.
