1.I recently attended a special service called Night of Kindness.This night was about a project called Kindness Water,which was (41)A by Phillip Wagner.
One day he was reading the newspaper and(42D a story about Africa,and was(43)B to learn that limited access to clean drinking water kills 3.6million people per year.He knew he had to help.He(44)Cdonations from friends,family and churches to help dig a well in a Malawai village,then created a bottled water company that donates 100% of the(45)Bto building more wells.Within a year,sales of Kindness water supported two projects in Uganda.Since then,Kindness Water has (46)C550 wells in 19 countries,helping more than 325,000 people.What a(n)(47)D!
But here is what really (48)B me:It all started with one man,Phillip Wagner,and his desire to make a difference.He saw a need and (49)A with,"I have to help."Thousands of others who read the same (50)Cthat morning might have also been surprised and (51)Daffected deeply when they learned the fact.But all those people didn't (52)A.They thought,"Oh well.That's too bad.(53)D somebody will help those people who don't have any clean water."
Phillip Wagner decided to be that somebody,and(54)C the help of thousands of others who have joined he is making a difference to the world.You see,(55)Achange starts with ordinary people doing their part.I want to be one of those(56)D makers.
As a video of children smiling and swimming in clean water rolled in the background,Phillip Wagner said,I just want you to know that I(57)Bmy all,did my best,brought happiness to someone and(58)B this world a little better just because I was here."
Let's live out those words today.(59)Byou choose to volunteer at homeless shelters or(60)Cany other good deeds for those in need,let's be difference makers.Let's leave this world a little better.
