Inspirations
Here we will gather links to articles and Web pages that relate inspiring acts of Goodwill. Here is my first entry:
 Ryan's Well - a Reader's Digest article about a six-year-old Canadian boy who, upon learning in 1998 that African children were dying for lack of clean water, decided to act in ways that inspired people in his community and ultimately across the globe to fulfill his goal of providing clean water. One example, mentioned in the official Ryan's Well Website: "Ron Little, President and CEO of Orezone, a Canadian gold exploration company working in the African nation of Burkina Faso, heard Ryan’s story on the national CBC radio program Sounds Like Canada and was motivated to help Ryan with his mission to get clean water to all of Africa. Strongly paralleling Ryan’s own singular voice effecting major change, Orezone is a small company with a sound sense of social responsibility, now actively working with the mining industry to encourage them to build wells, donate funds, engage with the communities in which they operate, and commit to environmentally responsible practices in their watersheds."
Ryan's Circle of Goodwill continues to expand as you read... More stories to come.
