I happened to come across an inspirational story while surfing, about a small boy studying in class third ; as the story

goes, on one day some people from unicef ( probably unicef ) approached the school principal and sought some help through children in order to raise some collection to provide deep well for safe drinking water to children in an underdeveloped country in Africa. The school principal readily rendered the sought access to the school children for the required raising of the money. Unicef representatives accompanied each class teacher to their respective class room. In each classroom the representatives informed their basic intent and informed all kids to arrange for 100 dollars each in order to make provision for one deep well that could provide safe drinking water. The representatives left that day with an information to revisit the school on the following day to collect money from all kids who were interested to become a part of such philanthropic act. On the next day the team arrived at the school and directly met the principal with an apologetic face, as they informed him, that by mistake each classroom was informed that the total cost to construct a deep well shall amount to 4000 dollars where as the actual sum exceeded much more... Jointly they planned to revisit each classroom and inform kids about the fact and leave it upon them to decide on their own to either contribute the amount they had brought from their homes or to take it back along with themselves. While the visiting representatives were making rounds to the classrooms in one of the classes a strange phenomena came to their notice. Soon after the kids were informed about the error and given chance to decide further course... all kids in that particular classroom started staring towards the back... when inquired it became revealed that one of the backbench -er had yesterday made an announcement that he shall at his end raise entire money to raise one such deep well. The class teacher out of curiosity asked the child about his father's profession, in reply the child said that his father was a clerk in a small private firm... the teacher furthered her query by asking that as now the amount as enormously exceeded earlier limits but even then with previous assumption how could he dare to raise that amount. The child replied with chaste innocence that small kids in that African country must be provided with safe drinking water therefore he had planned to raise money from all of his known too's . The teacher again asked: kid now what is your next plan. The kid replied with the same innocence and said i shall still go on with my previous plan because he safe drinking water is a must for small children. Surprisingly, it took one full year and countless visits, yearning before large number of people before that kid could raise the required amount. The money was delivered to the respective body who furthered it to its destination. The government of the recipient country was so moved by this sacrificial act and the indomitable spirit of that small child that they requested him to visit their nation along with his parents to inaugurate that particular well and inspire their kids too... and the same got done... Next time when you find your steam going loose for the objectives most dear to your hear kindly remind yourselves the small story of that small kid borne with a gigantic courage.
