I wanted to give that money to Oceana so I can help save the ocean.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So he did. Remember, he was SEVEN.<\/p>\n<p>Since that first art show two years ago, Wyatt has held other art shows, spoken at events, and raised over $5,000 from his art, book, and T-shirts, to support Oceana, a \u201ccool group that wants to save the ocean, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So, what\u2019s up next for Wyatt, now nine?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to be like Martin Luther King, Jr. and do something to make the world a better place,\u201d says Wyatt.<\/p>\n<p>We think he already has.
