The Story of Adrianne and Rick Fourteen years ago, Adrianne Dartnall and Rick Lennert lost their only child, the beautiful twenty-one year old Danielle, who was killed by a drunk driver, near their home in Nanaimo. In their profound loss and terrible grief, they decided to do with their lives what Danielle was planning to do with hers - educate children. Since that time, Adrianne and Rick have devoted three to four months of every year to work on behalf of children and families living in extreme poverty. When they arrived in Cambodia, they discovered they were not alone in their grief. One third of the population had been decimated by the Khmer Rouge (the “Killing Fields”). Cambodia is a country still struggling to recover from this unimaginable horror. In 2008 Adrianne and Rick formed Kids International Development Society (K.I.D.S) and received Canadian charitable status. Adrianne is an educator/ social service administrator and Rick is a carpenter. Together
with the generous donations of others, K.I.D.S has built clinics, schools, provided clean drinking water systems and is committed to enhancing the well-being of local communities. They fund a children’s shelter for girls who have been at risk, orphaned, or on the streets. They also support a women’s weaving cooperative to assist women to make a decent living. They provide bicycles for children to get to school and solar lights for them to study, as they have no electricity. As well, they provide school supplies, libraries and lunch programs. Some children are so anxious to learn, they will cycle many kilometers a day to get to school. In isolated communities, both in rural Cambodia and on the Tonle Sap Lake, they support health care and provide funding for medical supplies and salaries for healthcare professionals to assist communities that would otherwise receive no such services. The Coffee House Project While friends and family have supported this work through generous donations each year, we are certain that Cedrick’s Coffee House in Crofton will provide them with substantial funding for many years to come. This is truly a place where a cup of coffee will contribute to changing a child’s life. Cedrick’s ,1610 Joan Avenue Crofton, 250 324-1064
