Foundation Promotie / Aid Transports to Romania

  On Wednesday, June 17, we were able to load another trailer with valuable goods. A lot of restacking was required, and various collection jobs also had to be carried out, but everything went smoothly again. After a delicious lunch provided by Hesva, we were able to complete the loading. The driver then set off for Venlo. From there, the trailer will continue by train to Romania, after which the final leg will be covered by road to Breaza. Despite the holiday period, fortunately there were enough people available to get this done together. Here is the link to a photo album The trailer we had loaded the week before also arrived in Marghita on Wednesday, May 17. It was unloaded there; the barn was empty, so it worked out well.  Here is the link to a few photos.

Miercurea trecută, 10 iunie, am reușit să încărcăm un alt camion cu provizii. Acesta este în drum spre Marghita. De asemenea, am reușit să facem diversele treburi de ridicare după niște improvizații. Iată linkul către câteva fotografii. În Breaza, distribuția a fost preluată imediat; lotul de cartofi și ceapă de la Manna a ajuns și el la locul potrivit. Iată linkul către câteva fotografii. Imola a postat pe blogul ei activitățile din luna mai cu grupurile de vârstnici din Breaza și împrejurimi. Îmi amintește puțin de vremea când mama mergea la întâlnirile asociației femeilor rurale.

  Last Wednesday, June 10, we were able to load another truck with relief supplies. It is on its way to Marghita. We were also able to get the various pickup jobs done after some improvisation. Here is the link to a few photos. In Breaza, the distribution was taken up immediately; the batch of potatoes and onions from Manna also ended up in the right place. Here is the link to a few photos. Imola has posted the activities in May with the groups of elderly people from Breaza and the surrounding area on her blog. It reminds me a bit of the time my mother went to meetings of the rural women's association. Here is the link to this blog   Marin sent a nice video of the two men who are missing a lower leg and received a mobility scooter, and whose houses have been renovated. Here is the link to a few photos, The photos from Band of cooking food for the children and handing it out also came in again. Here is the link to a photo album Josi from Tirgu Mures shared photos of his team's ...

T Războiul din țara lor vecină, Ucraina, are și el multe consecințe negative. Marți, voluntarii de la St. Caritas din De Rijp au mers din nou aici cu camionul și remorca DAF ale lui Jan Pilkes. Am putut preda mai mulți paleți cu dulciuri pentru taberele pentru copii pe care le organizează un pastor acolo. Miercurea trecută, am reușit să încărcăm o remorcă cu lucruri frumoase și utile. Am primit cartofi și ceapă de la St. Manna. Mai aveam în stoc diverse tipuri de bunătăți gustoase, precum și câteva alimente. Completată cu haine și mobilă, a fost o încărcătură generoasă. Am încărcat miercuri dimineață, iar camionul s-a îndreptat pe șosea spre Breaza, un drum de 2.000 de kilometri. Cu doi șoferi care puteau lua pe rând, totul a mers repede; descărcarea a avut loc în Breaza vineri dimineață. Iată linkul către un album foto Marin și Enico din Band au trimis fotografii cu facilitățile de luat masa și cu renovarea căsuței bărbatului cu piciorul amputat, care fusese cândva un fotbalist foarte...

This is the first update after a three-week break. It won't be a full retrospective, but rather a few highlights. Our contacts in Romania have faithfully sent their photos, that much is true. Our help is still more than welcome in Romania. The unstable political situation, rising inflation, business closures, and consequently increasing unemployment are not making life any easier.  The war in their neighboring country Ukraine also has many negative consequences. On Tuesday, volunteers from St. Caritas in De Rijp went here again with Jan Pilkes' DAF truck and trailer. We were able to hand over several pallets of candy for children's camps that a pastor organizes there. Last Wednesday, we were able to load a trailer with nice, usable items. We received potatoes and onions from St. Manna. We still had various kinds of tasty treats in stock, as well as some groceries. Supplemented with clothing and furniture, it made for a fine load. We loaded on Wednesday morning, and the truc...

Weekly Report 18/26 A week flies by, especially when a lot is happening. That was the case again last week. On Wednesday, May 6, a trailer was loaded destined for Breaza. Putting together a usable load required some puzzling: our stock is currently smaller than average. Ultimately, however, it worked out well. The pick-up jobs also went smoothly, and the lunch was excellently provided by Hesva. Consequently, we went home feeling good. Here is the link to a photo album Requests for help continue to come in from Romania. Recently, I wrote about the man with one leg whose small house was renovated and who received a mobility scooter. This support has given his life a tremendous positive turn. Now Marin sent me photos of another man and his family. It concerns a sixty-year-old man who was once a gifted footballer, but who has been without a lower leg for a year and a half. He hasn't been outside since then. The cottage he lives in leaks and shows all kinds of defects. Just like the res...
