Jonah Larson's crocheting business has led him to speaking engagements, authoring books, teaching classes, television appearances and charity work

, an organization that improves education standards and enables livelihoods for people living in Ethiopia.he launched last year and auction sales from a crochet auction held in honor of the Ethiopian orphanage, Jonah has raised thousands of dollars for the impoverished community, which he used to build a library and a new science lab in the rural Ethiopian school.

“It is a poor area and children and families don’t have access to books and microscopes,” she explains. “Many have never seen a book. Now, he is building them a science lab. He feels all kids should have an education. These children would have been his peers had he lived there. … This has made him the most happy.”

The proud mom also notes that her son plans on returning to Ethiopia this summer — the first time he has ever returned — to see the fruits of his labor and meet the children he has impacted. Beyond his charity work, Jonah transformed his online business to sell merchandise he designed now, with proceeds going toward helping him with Jonah’s Hands ventures and savings for medical school.
