HE is creative, passionate, caring and positive, and his supportive nature has seen him channelling his energies towards helping single mothers and at-risk youth.
Joel Harris, 27, CEO of Shavuot Farms, tells All Woman that from an early age he had a caring spirit, which he has nurtured into adulthood and incorporates in his daily lifestyle.
At the age of five, Harris, who holds a bachelor of science degree in management studies with specialisation in marketing from UWI, said he spent a lot of time in the sickle cell unit with his mother who is a nurse, and from watching her care for the sicklers, he was emboldened to be compassionate to others.
“Being tenacious, I always wanted to help dress wounds, or push them out in the wheelchairs. I was also always keen to find out the science behind why they were sick and what was the cure.”
He said his father is a microbiologist, and so he would use that medium to watch him in the lab observing the red and white blood cells trying to see what was wrong, and also read through his mother’s medical journals.
Moreso, having grown up in church, Harris said he saw his parents care for people, and so the passion to help people grew on him.
