Meet Astrid de Vries

She is the founder of Kids Connection Haiti (KCH), a company that has been providing education, career development, housing, family environment, and emergency support in Haiti for the past 10 years. It was the lack of post-orphanage services in Haiti that drove Astrid to start this company.

On her visit to Haiti for the first time in 1998, Astrid fell in love with the children she met at the orphanage where she worked. She witnessed how a situation of despair can change into a situation of hope, with relatively small input. She experienced how love, a sense of family, and access to education make a world of difference. Soon enough, the seed for Kids Connection Haiti was planted.

THE DIFFERENCE KIDS CONNECTION HAITI (KCH) MAKES Kids Connection Haiti offers a holistic approach, not just financial aid for education but well thought academic plan, mentorship, and prep for financially independent futures for orphaned young adults in Haiti.

THE CHALLENGE AND HOW SHE’S MANAGING It’s challenging to raise enough funds for all the needs that the company faces in Haiti, but  Astrid is trusting that God will provide is essential. She’s switched to a more Christian-centered approach to doing business which is also challenging since she was not a Christian when KCH was founded. Staying immersed in books and Bible verses has taught her a lot and helped encourage her faith walk. James 1 stands out to her in this season.

ENCOURAGEMENT TO ENTREPRENEURS FACING SIMILAR CHALLENGES Trust the Lord. His timing is not the same as yours.

WHAT ASTRID IS THANKFUL FOR “God has always been very clear about my mission, I never doubt that what I'm doing is what He has called me to do. I even called it my 'calling' before I knew God. Also once I started believing and trusting in Him, my worries were lifted up and my programs tripled as soon as I stopped trying to do it by myself.” —Astrid de Vries

HOW YOU CAN HELP This is good work that Astrid is doing but there’s more still to be done. Kids Connection Haiti (KCH) is in need of funding, volunteers, and board members. If you can help in any way, please contact [email protected] or visit KidsConnectionHaiti.org for more information.

Also, please agree with us in prayer for KCH.

I can't find lyrics to Daredreamer songs anywhere, so here's my best take on the lyrics to "Awesome":

Ooh, that guy, he ready He got chutzpah One look from him is deadly He fresh and he raw

He be into texture Quiver to his touch Content under pressure Watch him pop the clutch

He’s awesome He’s awesome

He got total attitude Eee Miami Vice He fly at high altitude He taught you the dice

He dictates the sound He like nasty beat His cool is all around him Can you feel the heat

He’s awesome He’s awesome

His expression Keeps ‘em guessing They watchin’ him for a sign When he comes struttin’ He’s pushing buttons He’s sending shivers up your spine

Yeah, here he come walkin’ Watch him take control He don’t do no talkin’ He be rock ‘n’ roll

He’s awesome He’s awesome
