Weekly update 1 / 2021

The first post on our blog in 2021, we hope that many more will follow with mostly good news. We wish everyone a happy and blessed New Year.

In 2020, a piece was posted on this blog every week and therefore provides a nice overview of all activities in that year. We were able to deliver an enormous amount of goods and thus helped a great many people. Thanks to our sponsors, sympathizers, the efforts of our volunteers and the relief workers in Romania, we have been able to realize this. Quite an achievement that we can be a little proud of.

The newspapers and all other media have paid a lot of attention to the consequences of the well-known virus. That is why I will not do that all over again in this blog. I prefer to look ahead, fortunately it looks like we will be able to move more freely in the not too distant future. As I wrote before, the people of our target group in Romania have an extra difficult time. Our on-site relief workers are eager to help and we can do just that with the goods we bring. So we continue to do what we do and use the opportunities we have. It is useful and necessary.

A welcome addition to her mini pension.


The last truck from Broek op Langedijk in 2020 (the 57th) was unloaded the day after Christmas in Breaza and Deaj. Imola sent pictures of it and there is an update on her blog.

Toth Attila also sent many pictures.

Here the link to the photos.

Cristi from Botosani has been busy making and delivering packages, more and more people come to him asking for help. Fortunately, he wants to help as many people as possible and it is very pleasant to work together.

Here the link to photos.

Max Veenstra sent a message about a Christmas celebration in Lebanon through lifecenterbeirut.org. This organization receives support from the Netherlands through Max. Using the keywords refugees and / or poverty in Google gives a lot of food for thought.

The next week the intention is to load two cars. The first will go to Pieter Nagel in Minis, who will be at the door on Monday 4 January. There is already a loading crew.

A second goes to Botosani, this freezer trailer receives a load of frozen food. It is not yet known when this will come.

The Covid-19 rules remain in force, we will continue to work in small groups, so do not come to Dulleweg 20 without prior notice.

On Tuesday, February 21, we were able to collect more than 3.000 kg of seed potatoes from farmers in the Wieringermeer, a nice gesture from these kind people. Henk Muller from Band can enjoy his garden projects again. There is also plenty for the gardens in and around Breaza. On Wednesday we were able to load them immediately, together with hospital beds, apples, some cake and other food. Another nice load that arrived in Breaza on Friday evening and was unloaded on Saturday morning. Wednesday was busy with repacking work and loading and collecting, it all ended up on its feet again. Here is the link to pictures of the loading. Here the link to pictures of the unloading in Breaza. Reghina from Ticau has been busy again making packages and handing them out. Here is the link to photos. Like every week, Henk Muller is busy offering help to his fellow man. Handing out goods, leading a youth club, building houses and surroundings. improve, you have to have a lot of energy to keep this up. H

Last week we shipped a trailer that will cover part of the route to Breaza by train. This concerns the stretch from Cologne to Arad, the trailer went on the train in Cologne and in Arad another tractor picks it up again for the last stretch to Breaza. We want to gain experience with this and thus avoid the crowds and controls at the Hungary/Romania border. On Wednesday, February 14, the loading of this trailer went well, there was quite a bit of repacking work and we were able to load a beautifully varied trailer with relief goods. The driver had to wait a little longer for his papers, Mission & Relief from Zevenhuizen produced additional documents. At 1:30 PM the driver headed to the terminal in Cologne. I don't know (yet) where the trailer is, we'll hear more about this early next week. Here is the link to photos. There were still some collection jobs, this was also the case on Monday just like last Friday. The warehouse is therefore still well filled. Next week we will l

On Wednesday we were able to load another truck with relief supplies. This time for Marghita and Ticau. We had quite a bit of stock so that we could put together a nice shipment again. We were extra careful with loading so that we would not have any problems at the border. This extra work has been useful, this truck crossed the border between Hungary and Romania without any problems on Friday. Besides loading the truck, there was plenty to do on Wednesday, for example we received a batch of lentils in large packaging. This can be done in small plastic pots that we have had in stock for some time. Also picking up stuff and cleaning up, another day well spent. Here is the link to photos. At the end of the afternoon on Friday, most of this cargo was unloaded in Marghita and potatoes and vegetables were loaded there for Ticau. There is a very good harvest on the farm, mainly due to Attila's craftsmanship and the efforts of his team. Sales are difficult due to the greatly reduced purcha
