Hey guys! I’m Katie and I’m an Inventory and Customer Care intern! I was raised in Naperville, Illinois and am currently a sophomore at DePaul University studying Women and Gender studies & Communication studies with a minor in religion. After packing up my books, leaving my job at Crate & Barrel, deep dish pizza and Caribou Coffee, I was super stoked (what up Cali lingo?!) to set out to California, Chicago accent and all. I love KKi. When reading about their mission online I felt an instant connection not only because Chicago is cold but because of their mission. KKi doesn’t hand things out but instead provides a trade, employment and empowerment and that is something that cannot be replicated. I bought a hat and I changed a life…that is what drew me to Krochet Kids Intl. I believe that flaws are important, that rainy days are just as beautiful as sunny days, animals are meant to be loved not eaten and that ignorance is a worldwide problem. I love dark coffee in oversized mugs, laughing, reading, slippers, vegan cooking/baking, LUSH and knowing I will never be too old for Disney movies. I believe selflessness and patience are admirable; honesty is key; please, thank you and I love you are not said enough and hard work does pay off in the end. I may not know how or why I am so blessed, why I was chosen for this internship while I’m only 19 but there are some things I know. I know I love my family and my friends. I know I will forever be grateful for this internship and I am here, in this world to serve. I know that I love the women in Uganda and Peru, the men and women in the warehouse in Costa Mesa, the other interns in the house, and that I love KKi. Peace out Tumblrites! Kruton 

Hey guys!

I’m Katie and I’m an Inventory and Customer Care intern! I was raised in Naperville, Illinois and am currently a sophomore at DePaul University studying Women and Gender studies & Communication studies with a minor in religion.

I love KKi. When reading about their mission online I felt an instant connection not only because Chicago is cold but because of their mission. KKi doesn’t hand things out but instead provides a trade, employment and empowerment and that is something that cannot be replicated.

Hi everyone! My name is Meghan and I’m part of the Event Intern Team.  I was born and raised in the great state of Minnesota and recently graduated from Bethel University in St.Paul.  I love the outdoors, a good book, and adrenaline.  I also love to travel; it fuels me.  When I travel, the world becomes smaller and my connection with others in it grows larger; someone else’s story becomes a part of my own and provides me with reason.  I love that Krochet Kids gives us the opportunity for us to connect with the women who make our products through a simple thank you.  It is a unique and amazing aspect of the way KKi is doing business differently.  The focus on empowering women and breaking the cycle of poverty is just one of the many reasons why am so excited to be here. I believe in little things like the fact that taking the stairs instead of the elevator makes a difference, God loves me despite my many flaws, running in the morning is as great as coffee, every day is what you make of it, ice cream should be the base of the food pyramid, a smile is one of the best gifts you can give, and buying a hat really can change a life.

Some of the interns have been hard at work trying to make Krochet Kids’s customer service better for YOU. Help us help you help ladies across the globe and take the survey. Thanks for all your help! TAKE THE SURVEY HERE (There are some pretty great questions, an intern favorite is #19).

Hey there! I’m Jessica. Or Jess. Or Voltron to the guys in the warehouse (we even have a hand signal for that gem of a nickname).  I live in Southern California, but not the pretty part, I live in the high desert. It’s home for me. I first heard about Krochet Kids from the Bing commercial, and immediately knew I had to be involved in their amazing movement. KKi is unique in the way they help, by teaching the skills to empower women to help themselves. The people behind the organization are absolutely amazing. They’re such an inspiration, and I still can’t believe I’m able to work with them everyday on this wonderful mission to change the world, one hat at a time. Enough with the serious stuff, it’s time for random facts: * I have a dog named Lennon (he’s my baby), and my mom has a dog named Ringo… We’re basically trying to start our own Beatles- dog edition. * I have naturally curly hair that goes down to my hips and it takes 2+ hours to straighten it, so I don’t. * I’m obsessed with the night sky, I could lay out for hours and just stare at the stars. * I love to dance! I’m not great at it, but if I hear a good beat you better be ready for me to bust some moves. * I always order a Venti iced coffee with toffee nut, breve, 5 splenda, and light ice when I go to Starbucks. I have a sweet tooth, and they hate me for it. * I love movies! I love going to the movies, watching movies at home, and one day I would like to be in a movie or two. ;) * I’m an only child. The middle of 11 grandchildren, the only one with a different last name, and the only one without green or blue eyes. Weird, huh? * If I ever met Taylor Swift I’m convinced we would be instant best friends. Thanks so much for getting to know me a little bit. ‘I hope the sun shines and it’s a beautiful day’ (T.Swift). <3 Jess(ica) Voltron  “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love”- 1 John 4:8

It&#8217;s been an amazing week at the intern house! We picked up our first ever international intern (Leah. you&#8217;ll meet her soon). We celebrated Meghan&#8217;s birthday. We ate deep-dish Chicago pizza and received three boxes of Crate &amp; Barrel dishes. In-N-Out and kale chips made a few appearances. But we think this week can be summed up in these words: THANK YOU MAMA HEINEKAMP! We are so thankful for Mama Heinekamp&#8217;s thoughtfulness and love this week! We can&#8217;t wait to host a dinner party with our new dishes! Speaking of thank-yous, have you thanked any Krochet Kid ladies lately? (Thank them here)!

Remember when we took the intern poll to see what our current favorite beanies is?

Here’s a look inside Krochet Kids Uganda and the creation of one of ‘the Thomas’ from start to finish. 

Go to the site and share YOUR most loved hand-made beanie!

Throughout the internship we’re going to be sharing some of our favorite quotes.

Here’s Jessica’s:

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” -1 Peter 4:8 NIV

We took a KKi intern poll and our current faves are the Bella and the Thomas. Naturally this lead to a intern photo shoot, here&#8217;s our favorite pic! Check them out on the website: http://www.krochetkids.org/shop/the-thomas/ and http://www.krochetkids.org/shop/the-bella/
