É MUITO LEGAL ESSA HISTÓRIA VALE CITÁ-LA AQUINA ÍNTEGRARyan Hreljac e a "Razão de sua existência" ("reason for his existence")
http://www.anderson-wasser.blogspot.com&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Criei este blog de forma reativa, pois&nbsp;
estava cansado de ver notícias que mostravam&nbsp;
somente o lado sombrio da humanidade, pois
&nbsp;pela minha crença pessoal, existem pessoas
&nbsp;naturalmente boas em meio a uma maioria&nbsp;
evidente e naturalmente propensa a maldade&nbsp;
(conforme nos mostra a história da humanidade
&nbsp;e em muitos casos, de nossa&nbsp;
contemporânea vizinhança).
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I created this blog in a reactive way,&nbsp;
because I was tired of seeing news that showed&nbsp;
only the dark side of humanity, because in my
&nbsp;personal belief, there are people naturally good&nbsp;
in the midst of a most obvious and naturally prone&nbsp;
to evil (as we shall show the history of humanity
&nbsp;and in many cases, our contemporary neighborhood).&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;No início foi fácil, pois nomes&nbsp;
evidentes&nbsp;surgiam aos&nbsp;montes. Mas ao&nbsp;
passar das postagens,&nbsp;encontrar estes&nbsp;
abnegados&nbsp;se tornou uma tarefa&nbsp;mais árdua, mas não menos interessante.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At first it was easy, as evident names&nbsp;appeared in &nbsp;droves. But over the posts, find&nbsp;these selfless became a more&nbsp;arduous task,&nbsp;but no less interesting.
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Então, eis que encontro o nome deste&nbsp;
rapaz...&nbsp;Quase&nbsp;impronunciável – Ryan Hreljac –&nbsp;
nascido&nbsp;em Ontário, Canadá, &nbsp;em 1991, e que&nbsp;
aos 6 anos,&nbsp;em uma aula sobre a falta de água &nbsp;
potável na África, &nbsp;soube que crianças poderiam&nbsp;
ficar doentes e&nbsp;até&nbsp;morrer.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So here I find the name of this guy ...&nbsp;
Almost &nbsp;unpronounceable - Ryan Hreljac - born&nbsp;
in Ontario,&nbsp;Canada in &nbsp;1991 and when he was&nbsp;
6 years old, &nbsp;in a&nbsp;class about the lack of clean&nbsp;
water in Africa, knew&nbsp;that children could&nbsp;
become sick&nbsp;and even die.

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Na volta pra casa, passou por uma&nbsp;
fonte&nbsp;que jorrava &nbsp;água por horas e horas,&nbsp;
e decidiu&nbsp;pedir para a mãe lhe dar &nbsp;
US$ 70,00, que era o&nbsp;valor que sua&nbsp;
professora lhe havia dito&nbsp;que&nbsp;custava&nbsp;
cada poço aberto em território africano.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On the way back home, went&nbsp;
through&nbsp;a fountain&nbsp;gushing water for&nbsp;
hours and hours,&nbsp;and decided to ask&nbsp;
his&nbsp;&nbsp;mother to give him&nbsp;$ 70.00, which&nbsp;
was the value that his &nbsp;teacherhad told&nbsp;
him that each well cost in the&nbsp;African&nbsp;
territory.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Quando juntou os 70 dólares&nbsp;
em troca&nbsp;de fazer tarefas&nbsp;em casa, Ryan&nbsp;
foi com a mãe à&nbsp;sede da WaterCan, uma&nbsp;
ONG que&nbsp;perfura poços&nbsp;na África, e lá&nbsp;
descobriu que na verdade o preço&nbsp;de cada
&nbsp;poço era de US$2000,00.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When he joined the $ 70 in&nbsp;
exchange&nbsp;for doing chores&nbsp;at home, Ryan&nbsp;
was with his&nbsp;mother at the headquarters&nbsp;
of &nbsp;Watercan, a&nbsp;nonprofit organization&nbsp;
that drills wells in Africa,&nbsp;and there he&nbsp;
discovered that in fact the price of&nbsp;each&nbsp;
well &nbsp;was $ 2000.00.
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Sua mãe disse a Ryan que não teria&nbsp;como lhe dar&nbsp;este dinheiro, mas o garoto&nbsp;disse ao atendente que&nbsp;esperasse,&nbsp;que ele voltaria. E voltou!
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;His mother said to Ryan she&nbsp;couldn’t &nbsp;give him&nbsp;this money, but the&nbsp;boy told the dispatcher to wait, he&nbsp;would return. And he did!&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Após se juntar com irmãos,&nbsp;
amigos e vizinhos,&nbsp;e após horas&nbsp;de&nbsp;
trabalho e venda de produtos, ele&nbsp;
conseguiu coletar US$ 700,00, &nbsp;
e levou esta quantia&nbsp;até a WaterCan,&nbsp;
que por sua vez prometeu&nbsp;inteirar&nbsp;
o que faltava.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After joining with brothers,&nbsp;
friends and&nbsp;neighbors, and&nbsp;after&nbsp;
working hours and selling&nbsp;product,&nbsp;
he managed to collect&nbsp;$ 700.00, and&nbsp;
led&nbsp;to Watercan this amount, which&nbsp;
in turn&nbsp;promised to complete&nbsp;
what was missing.

&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Em 1999, a WaterCan abriu&nbsp;
o poço&nbsp;financiado por Ryan Hreljac,&nbsp;
os seus irmãos,&nbsp;vizinhos e amigos,&nbsp;
numa aldeia do Norte&nbsp;da Uganda. &nbsp;
A água começou a jorrar perto da&nbsp;
escola primária de Angolo.&nbsp;
E neste&nbsp;mesmo ano,&nbsp;Ryan criou a&nbsp;
ONG Ryan’s Well (o Poço de Ryan).&nbsp;E desde então mais de quinhentas mil&nbsp;pessoas já&nbsp;conseguiram acesso&nbsp;a água potável.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;In 1999, WaterCan&nbsp;
opened the well&nbsp;funded by&nbsp;
Ryan Hreljac,&nbsp;his siblings,&nbsp;
neighbors&nbsp;and friends, in a&nbsp;
village at northern of Uganda.&nbsp;The water began to flow near&nbsp;
the Angolo&nbsp;Primary School.
&nbsp;And in this&nbsp;same year, Ryan&nbsp;
created the Ryan's Well NGO&nbsp;
(Ryan's Well). &nbsp;And since then&nbsp;
more than five hundred&nbsp;thousand people have gained&nbsp;access to potable water.



&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ryan afirmou que&nbsp;
entendeu&nbsp;a razão de ter nascido&nbsp;
quando&nbsp;começou&nbsp;toda esta história,&nbsp;
e até hoje (19 anos)&nbsp;ele continua&nbsp;
se&nbsp;empenhando nesta luta&nbsp;através da ONG. Seu exemplo foi tão&nbsp;contagiante que os alunos da escola&nbsp;
de&nbsp;Angolo, visitado por Ryan,&nbsp;dedicam&nbsp;
um&nbsp;bom período pós aula todas as&nbsp;
semanas&nbsp;aos doentes&nbsp;de AIDS e&nbsp;
idosos da região, &nbsp;como forma&nbsp;
de retribuição.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ryan said he understood why&nbsp;he was born when he&nbsp;started this whole&nbsp;story, and even today (19 years) he&nbsp;
keeps&nbsp;working hard in this fight through&nbsp;
NGO. &nbsp;His example was&nbsp;so infectious that&nbsp;
the&nbsp;&nbsp;students at Angolo school, helped&nbsp;by&nbsp;
Ryan, &nbsp;spend a good period after class&nbsp;
each week&nbsp;to AIDS&nbsp;patients and elderly&nbsp;
in the region,&nbsp;as a form of retribution.
&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Espero continuar tendo&nbsp;
estas boas&nbsp;surpresas e&nbsp;compartilhando&nbsp;
com vocês.&nbsp;E mais, fazê-los acreditar, &nbsp;
comigo, que&nbsp;não podemos afirmar que&nbsp;
o ser humano&nbsp;é totalmente propenso&nbsp;
ao mal.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I hope to continue having&nbsp;
these&nbsp;&nbsp;good surprises&nbsp;and sharing&nbsp;
with you.&nbsp;Plus, make you believe,&nbsp;
as me,&nbsp;that we&nbsp;can’t affirm that&nbsp;
every human being is&nbsp;prone&nbsp;
to evil.
