Ryan and Jimmy And the Well That Brought Them Together

Review By Nathan:

Notes:  This is a complete review!  Also this is a true story.

When Ryan, a Canadian boy, was in first grade he learned about the shortage of clean water in Africa. He decided to do something about it. He started raising money to help drill a well in Africa. Eventually he saved enough money to have a well drilled. He wanted it drilled by a school so it was drilled by Agweo, Uganda. Soon Ryan became pen pals with a boy named Jimmy from Agweo. Ryan eventually got to go to Africa to see his well and Jimmy. It seemed all was going well for the village after Ryan left, that was until the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) raided the village and captured many younger boys including Jimmy. Jimmy managed to escape but it was not safe for him in Uganda anymore. So the long process to get Jimmy to Canada started. After many set backs Jimmy finally made it the Canada. Jimmy eventually got used to his life living with Ryan and his family and he enjoyed it.
