Hey there! I am Jaelyn Knolls, the summer intern for Mission Made Jewelry and Haiti Awake! I have been working for about a month now, and I would love to share some of my thoughts!

I graduated from Wilmington Christian Academy in 2022. While I was a student, the Haiti Awake Ministry would sometimes come a speak at our chapels. As I listened, I remember wishing for more ways to get involved and contribute to help in Haiti. Being able to work for Haiti awake this summer is such a full circle moment, and such a blessing!

As I learn more about Haiti, and the beautiful people there, the more I thank God for all the people who have made Haiti Awake possible. The ministry has been able to do so much good for the Haiti community, and being able to witness this impact firsthand is so inspiring.

My favorite part about working with Haiti Awake is being able to see how love truly pulls people together. Our friends in Haiti are so hardworking , sacrificial, and caring. Those on our team living in Haiti spend so much time pouring into the children in their community through playing games with them, and spending countless hours helping them get a good education.

Moving forward, I am excited to see what God has planned next for the Haiti Awake Ministry!
