Jatan Bai dreams of purchasing a new mobile phone!

Jatan and Kala with their new Solar Lantern
Dear Bill,

Jatan Bai lives with her mother in a remote village in Rajasthan called Munj-ka-Pura. She lost her father at a young age and her mother brought her up single handedly facing a lot of hardship and helped her get married.

Her husband works near Delhi which is very far from her village. As a result, she decided to stay with her mother. Her husband visits them once every two months and the only source of communication is through phones. She has not had no education and therefore cannot write a letter.

As Munj ka Pura does not have electricity she had to travel to a nearby village which is 5 kms away to speak to her husband.

With the generous donation of a Solar Lantern by Bill she is now planning to buy a mobile phone as it can be charged from the Lantern. She is very excited about learning to use the mobile phone and staying in better touch with her husband!
