There is no water source for use in our house.I can bring 40 liters of water from the White Volta River with my donkey Ajuji every day.I walk 4 kilometers every day to bring water.That's why I have to wake up every morning at sunrise.Life is difficult here.I usually feel upset.Most of the children in this village are unhappy,too.

We all get very tired of having to carry water from miles away every day. Since there is no water in our village, we do not have any land to cultivate. We cannot be fed enough. Everywhere is dry with thirst and we don't have trees to play around with. Every day we think about what we can do. Who can help a small village?

Living in a small and green village could be fun. We would have fruit trees and animals around a garden where we could play. It is impossible for us children to do this by carrying water in buckets every day at birth. In order to have a cultivable area in our village, we need a work that can bring water to our village from the river.

He wrote in his letter that he wanted to help my village. I wasn't sure if he could really do this. But he mentioned  that he had some brilliant  ideas for  helping us.  He had alread  decided to talk to his classmates and his teachers about this problem. He was sure that they would do something to solve our villag  ' s problem. I thanked him in my letter and  started to wait for hearing from Yusuf.
One day I received a letter from Yusuf. I was so excited that I couldn’t read his letter at first.  Then I took a deep breath and read it. He wrote that,  his school wanted to help us. They would organise a campaign. It was a kind of a " water campaign" I was the happiest girl in the world because their helpfulness,  sensitivity and generosity showed me that there are good people in the world.

Yusuf explained the details in his letter. Yusuf and his school would organise a fair to collect some money. Their aim was to drill a water well in my village. Doing this wasn't so easy. They had a lot of ideas for fundation. For example,  Yusuf wrote in his letter that they would make posters so that rich and generous people would learn about my village' s problem. They might even donate some money for this campaign.   As soon as I read his letter, I talked to my teacher and told her about Yusuf' s and his school' s plans.

My teacher and my calssmates were very happy to hear these news. His next letter, Yusuf sent me one of their posters they prepared for our Water Campaign. It was a very impressive poster. We were again full of hope to bring water in our village. And there was a surprise in the envelope with the letter.: their picture taken while they were working on the fair to get money. They prepared many meals, clothes, toys to sell in the fair. They looked very happy and tired in the picture.

Two days later, the money earned from the fair, by the theatre and concert was given to my teacher. So that the following week this money, gained from the "Campaign for water" organized by my friend Yusuf and his school, were brought to the municipality to make a well for our village. Two weeks later that water source was realized: it was a dream made true! What a joy for all of us! Especially for the children, who were very happy for this big change in their lives.

I will teach it to my younger brothers and tell my family about it ... With the availability of water also, the taste of the food that my mother cooks will change and it will become delicious and clean.

I just got a pen friend from Turkey wrote about our problems and then a miracle happened. Yusuf was so sensitive and good boy that he couldn’t ignore us. With this miracle we not only had water wells in our village but also we met with agriculture. We can now cultivate some products depending on the climate. It is a big miracle for my village.

Everyone in my village is soo happy. Even my donkey, Ajuji, is so happy. He is getting older and he doesn’t have to carry 40 liters of water everyday anymore. It is unbelievable that we have water in our village. Still, nobody wastes water because we do know the importance of water. For decades, we run out of water. We know how it is difficult to live without it.

There are many people in the world who are like us. Everyone should protect clean water and use it carefully. Think about people who cannot find water to drink while taking a bath, washing their hands. Whats better than helping a person is to make sure that he does not need help.

Now they are great buddies writing eachother. He wrote a letter about his project homework on universal values.And he has to finish it by the end of this month. This time Yusuf needs help. He asks Ayodele to back him up.  He asked her what she understands from the saying by Rumi 'Be like running water in generosity and helping others.

Ayodele writes that Let's never stop being generous, just as water never stops flowing. Helping people is very important. We should help people so that love and peace never lose their importance in the world.I can ask the kids at my school and get their ideas.I wish we could make a movie of our story.  People watching this movie would be more sensitive and be aware of people who are in need.

Water plays a key role in the existence and maintenance of life.  Without water there could be no life.  Water represents life and is found in everything that surrounds us.

More than 4000 African children lose their lives every day due to the fact that they drink infested water, have no sewage and suffer from diseases caused by lack of hygiene. According to World Vision, about 8 million African children die annually. Most people in Africa do not have access to safe drinking water, just like Ayodele! Without water there would be no vegetation on the ground and without plants there would be no oxygen for people to breathe. In other words, the whole planet would be completely different.

As such an important resource that helps the harmonious development of the human body and the environment, it must be protected and appreciated.

We have to help Ayodele!  I will make a humanitarian campaign to help the people of Ayodele village.

This speech of Yusuf was so valuable because it raised awareness among the society. Kindnesss, helpfulness, benevolence, tolerance, empathy.. They are all universal values and keep the world together. The story of Yusuf and Ayodele is now the symbol of kindness. Fortunately, kindnesss is contagious and spreads easily.  Now, there are lots of campaigns to help people who are in need. We should make the world a better place. That's why let's start from today and be a part of benevolence.
