Support Jonah's Library & Science Lab!

Jonah has been a wonderful supporter of Roots Ethiopia. Together with his community, he has donated funds to deliver the power of education to students in rural Ethiopia with these amazing projects:

  • Built a hands-on science classroom (Jonah’s Hands-On Science Lab).
  • Supplied the school with desks, blackboards, and a lot of excitement!

In celebration of Gena (Ethiopian Christmas) and the New Year, Roots Ethiopia is collaborating with Jonah to auction off this limited edition Jonah Doll from Yarnized!

The Jonah Doll features Jonah’s signature Pom Pom hat as well as a “crochet away” jacket and an Ethiopian scarf and blanket to show pride for his birth country. Click here to watch his video message!
