Foundation Promotie / Aid Transports to Romania

Last week it was necessary to make a “last minute booking” and have a truck come. The Manna Foundation from Alkmaar was able to provide us with many beautiful products, a lot of food and all kinds of - tasty things -. To leave this until January 2021 was not an option. This became clear on Monday and a truck was already at the door on Monday afternoon. There are always Romanian trucks waiting for cargo somewhere and especially just before Christmas, the drivers want to go home. Enough people were available on Tuesday to load the trailer. First to Alkmaar to pick up the goods at St. Manna and then load it. Truck number 57/2020 was loaded at approximately 2:00 PM. Half of this beautiful freight goes to Csaba and Imola in Breaza and the other half goes to Henk Muller in Deaj. On Monday December 28, the driver will leave his hometown Beiuș for Breaza and Deaj to unload his trailer, the recipients will be happy with it. Here the link to pictures of the loading. Wednesday we would clean up o...

  Last week it went a bit differently than originally intended, a trailer was loaded on Wednesday December 16 instead of on Thursday. So we improvise, but we managed to send a truck with relief goods to Romania for the 56th time in 2020. We were able to load a lot of food, they will be very happy with this food in Botosani. Thanks to Joerns Healthcare, we were able to collect 10 hospital beds with mattresses in Amsterdam and a whole batch of curtains from Content in Wormerveer. Here the link to pictures of the loading. On Thursdays and Fridays, a few of our volunteers helped the Amsterdam Food Bank transfer goods from the headquarters to an additional storage area. On Friday we were allowed to pick up a nice party in Enschede at Brinkers Zoetwaren. At the moment we still have quite a bit of stock, with this we can help a lot of people in Romania. As it looks now, we will load the following transport at the beginning of January 2021. This unless special situations arise, which is no...

Last time I wrote in our blog, -we have no more food in stock and will not load a truck next week -. On Monday, thanks to St. Manna from Alkmaar and St. HRIF from Weesp, so many food offers came in that we were able to load a truck on Thursday. Including a batch of almost 5,000 boxes of eggs, a product that everyone can use. Also slightly less common canned squid, we are going to try it, opinions are divided, it is a nutritious product and many people eat it. On Tuesday we picked up the eggs and on Wednesday we repackaged a group from deposit crates into boxes. On Wednesday we could also pick up a trailer full of other food items, more than enough to load a trailer. It's great to be part of a well-functioning network. On Thursday we started loading the Romanian truck at nine o'clock, the first half with goods is destined for Deaj, the second half goes to Breaza. This is in addition to the Christmas packages promotion there. Henk Muller left for Deaj on Wednesday and will live t...

On Tuesday, December 1, we loaded a very nice batch of relief goods (including a lot of food), this time with destination Botosani. The truck arrived at nine o'clock and with a group of five men it was loaded at 12:15 and was off to Botosani, a journey of almost 2,400 kilometres. The truck arrived and unloaded there on Friday December 4. That went smoothly and well organized, immediately afterwards a cargo was loaded in Suceava. This weekend the driver is at home with his family near Sibiu, his plan was to slaughter a pig. There are too few pigs for the annual traditional slaughter just before Christmas. The price is therefore good for those who have pigs to sell, said Csaba from Breaza. The link to pictures of the loading. On Wednesday morning, December 2, the farm in Marghita loaded 19.000 kg of potatoes and 4.000 kg of carrots, this time with destination Phoneo in Reghin. The truck arrived there the same day at the beginning of the evening, with united forces the team members of...
