"His short speech, translated into English at the graveside, so struck
the residents of Neligh that the pioneers who attended the burial that
day remembered it for the rest of their lives. They wrote it down. They
passed it on to local historians. And they did something else, too,
locals say. They listened."

A beautiful story. People do find it easier to relate on an individual
level, which of course is why charities like to focus attention on
stories of specific children.
