Heyyy I’m Jonae. An international student from The Bahamas studying Hospitality Management with a focus in Food and Beverage Management. Over the years I have developed a passion for encouraging youth to live a meaning life for Christ by being an example, mentor and listening ear.
I love to sing and find great purpose in giving back to the community and helping those less fortunate than me.
When and how did you first get involved with Lighthouse Christian Camp?
In May 2022 I inquired about the Kitchen Manager Position. Although working in the kitchen does not give me a lot of time to interact with the children I believe the feeding of hot hearty meals is my act of service to the children, helping them to be able to focus on the message spoken in chapel and actively participate in the activities throughout the day.
