Foundation Promotie / Aid Transports to Romania

Last Tuesday and Wednesday the last beds were collected from Zuyder Waert in Heerhugowaard. On Wednesday, April 21, we were able to form two teams, the first shift was to repackage frozen food at a different location. Soon this will be transported to Botosani where it will be very welcome. The second team has loaded a trailer in Broek op Langedijk with destination Botosani where it was unloaded on Saturday. Another nice load for Cristi and his team. The link to pictures of the loading. Besides photos, Cristi sent a whatsapp message to thank us for what we do together, this message can be read including the Google translation via the link below. The link to Cristi's thank you note.

Henk Muller in Deaj, Phoneo in Reghin, Toth Attila in Peris and Imola and Csaba in Breaza. Our contacts there were happy to be able to

Tuesday, April 12, we were able to pick up beds again at Zuyder Waert in Heerhugowaard, this time more than 20 beds. Henk Muller sent a message on Tuesday morning with the request to collect six pallets of sunflower seeds and half a pallet of tropical fruits from a wholesaler in Rotterdam. The bed collection team, Siem and Gerrit, could do this in between 😊. A nice solution it could be loaded the next day for Henk in Deaj. Loading the truck with destination Breaza and Deaj went smoothly and without problems on Wednesday. Another nice usable load. There were also a few pick-up jobs and some tidying up. Here the link to photos. Cristi again sent many photos of the construction of the extension of Casa Ioana, the distribution of goods and also of the receipt of margarine from Austria. Nice to see, the photos of a visit from Mohair with his family, he grew up in Casa Ioana. Here the link to photos. Toth Attila from Peris sent pictures of fencing, making and handing out food packages. Here

On Tuesday, April 6, we were able to pick up hospital beds again at care center Zuyder Waert. It is starting to become routine, 20 will be ready again next Tuesday from 11 am. Wednesday, April 7, a Romanian truck was loaded with destination Marghita, 50% unloaded at the farm, potatoes were loaded and unloaded at Marien Kroon in Floresti. Attila sent a few photos, he said that it is still freezing at night which is not good for the start of the growing season. Fortunately, according to weather online forecasts, things are looking a lot better for the coming period. In the near future, more potatoes will be sent from the farm to poor people through our contacts. Here the link to a few photos. Thursday afternoon, April 8, 50 bedside tables, a kidney dialysis machine and other medical items were collected from the Red Cross hospital in Beverwijk. All useful articles for healthcare in Romania, it was quite a job. Friday, April 9, another nice batch of food arrived through the Manna Foundati

The truck that we had loaded with frozen food on Friday March 26 was unloaded on Monday March 29 in Breaza and Deaj. The distribution went smoothly and quickly, thousands of people were made happy with these products. Recipients loved it. Csaba and Imola had arranged the distribution very well. Nursing homes with a budget that is too small to take good care of the residents have been given a portion. Just like an organization responsible for 350 orphans with the same problem. The permanent core of the many relief workers who care about the Roma population and the many poor people in their environment have also been able to distribute royally. Henk Muller in Deaj has also been busy with it and made many people happy again. Especially at this time of the year, many people have really run out of supplies and money. Retailers in small villages sometimes sell on credit, with the idea that these customers have a chance to earn some money in the spring and summer. This “system” is faltering,
