There’s really no way of knowing what will become a meme and what won’t, and many stories don’t always have a happy ending.

Fortunately young Jake, pictured above, has seen some good come of the photo that spread like wildfire online.

He has become particularly famous here at home, with the joke being that he was everything from a grumpy driving instructor to an unimpressed security guard.

Originally many thought he was a local kid, but then it was revealed that he was actually from a small village in eastern Ghana.

Here’s the picture that made him famous:

And some backstory from BBC:

Cameraman Carlos Cortes travelled to Ghana in 2015 to make a documentary about Solomon Adufah, an artist returning to his home country from the US.

The picture of Jake, then four, was one of hundreds taken by Cortes while Adufah taught art and creative studies to the children.

“I just caught Jake in the moment of his teaching,” Cortes, of Chicago, told the BBC. “He definitely has a pensive look on his face.”

The two men then returned to the States, https://improvehearingnaturally.com/Buy-Tetracycline.html unaware they had captured a future star.

It was only when Adufah shared the picture on his Instagram account that everything kicked into gear, and at first he was worried that the memes were mocking the youngster.

That’s when he had his light bulb idea:

So Adufah, who has lived in the US since he was 16, set up a fundraising campaign, hoping Jake will really inspire people to turn their likes into cash to help pay for his education, and that of the other children in the village.

Within 24 hours, it had raised $2,000 (£1,642) – 10% of its target.

Adufah said: “This money could make a huge difference to the kids – this could be something really positive going forward.”

Some of the youngsters from that village posing with Adufah and looking stoked, except for young Jake in front:

A picture might be worth a thousand words, but so far Jake’s furrowed brows have brought in the cold, hard cash.

Good luck, young man. Still a way to go until you rival the fame of this side glance, though…
