The Phone of Jonas

Here is Jonas, and his new phone.


Jonas is the Head Teacher at Kuunika Foundation, an orphanage in transition between having next to nothing to having a bunch of new buildings, a garden, and a worldwide funding network. At the time they're barely making ends meet, and Jonas is a big part of making it happen. He's not quite as sharp as Steven, the Executive Director, but he works hard and maintains an interminably positive attitude. It's a little difficult to coordinate with him sometimes, if Steven or I need something to get done, simply because we can't always contact him, and he lives quite a walk from the orphanage. This phone means he can "flash" or "missed call" one of us to let us know he wants to talk, and we who have money for phone credit can call him back, and we can coordinate. Already the phone's been used a lot, for practical things. Yay!

Gotta love that missing tooth, huh?

Thanks to Brielle from Eugene, OR for this one.
