     An eight year old Canadian boy saw on television that there are
people in the world who die from thirst, or because their water is
contaminated. He was so concerned that he founded an organization he
called "WaterCan", a pun where the meaning of "Can" may be like in
"beer can", or in "Canada", or in "you can do it." By sending out
emails to everyone he knew, asking for contributions, and asking
people to forward the request to those they know, he raised 12
million Canadian dollars. He made those funds available for drilling
water wells in areas without safe drinking water, saving many lives.
If a young boy can do this, what can we accomplish?
