Every meme definitely has a back story and the one of this little boy- Jake will make you smile.

Jake Amo who is only 4 was captured in this viral photo, writing pensively at a local creative workshop which was organised in his village of Asempanaye, Koforidua, in Ghana.

Solomon Adufah, the US-based Ghanaian artist, who put the workshop together described Jake as a gentle and quiet little boy on his Instagram page. But little did he know how viral the picture would go.

On top of being famous, a trust fund for Jake’s education/welfare is already in the works! Yass!
