It was a long journey back to Uganda for 23-year-old Ryan Hreljac, the Kemptville native who created the Ryan's Well Foundation after becoming passionate about water and sanitation as a six-year-old.

On Friday, Oct. 2, the Ryan’s Well Foundation will be premièring its documentary, Return to Ryan’s Well, from 7-9 p.m. at the North Grenville Municipal Centre, 285 County Rd. 44, Kemptville.

Work began on the milestone 1,000th well in northern Uganda in the fall of 2015. A story on the foundation’s website says it has brought clean water and sanitation to more than 842,000 people.
