No messages yet. An elder can text NEED.
Phone
Pamoja Circles connect neighbors who already know each other.
The list is what a basic handset can text. Live commands change the circle. The others reply that they are not open yet.
A leader's phone acts for an elder with no handset: NEED HALIMA, then OK HALIMA.
A medical emergency still goes to local emergency services. Pamoja only tells the circle.
