Weekly update 20/21

It's a bit of a strange time for me, I haven't been to our storage for a few weeks and despite that, two trucks with relief supplies have been shipped to Romania this week. This says something about the commitment and skills of our volunteers. The fact that I did not go to the storage is because I missed the last step of the stairs on the last day in our old house, resulting in an injury to my elbow. Now in a cast and on Monday 17 May an operation will follow to put the broken bone in its place. Not very smart, but yes it happened. A bit of a false start, but we now live comfortably in our comfortable apartment with a beautiful view of a lake.

Wednesday, May 12, a trailer was loaded for Deaj, the location of Henk Muller. Henk himself has been in the Netherlands for a while. The lead in Deaj is now in the trusted hands of Viorel.

Loading went smoothly, but it was quite a job due to all the tidying up in the storage. In Amsterdam some repackaging of frozen food still had to be done. This was also successful and on Friday 14 May a freezer trailer was loaded with a total of 26 pallets of high-quality foodstuffs. They will be very happy with the recipients in Botosani.

Cristi from Botosani again sent many photos and messages. A foundation from Austria has
delivered all kinds of playground equipment. The roof of the oldest part of Casa Ioana started to leak and has been replaced. The fact that the beds from Zuyder Waert ended up well can also be seen in a number of photos.

Reghina also sent pictures of her work again. Gerrit van der Starre sent a newsletter on behalf of St. Emeth with interesting messages.

Here the link to photos.

Imola posted a new message on her blog and sent some nice photos taken during a tour in the area. Let's hope it will soon be possible to travel to Romania again without any problems.

Marien Kroon sent a report on the distribution of the potatoes that were brought there from the farm in Marghita. The second report is about the distribution of the Easter packages. It is clear from these reports that help is very much needed and welcome in many places.

Here the link to the report.

Here the link to report 2.


When moving house, all kinds of things come to the surface, I came across an article that I wrote almost 25 years ago in the staff magazine of the bank where I worked at the time. This with, among other things, an explanation why I started a trip to Romania, I could not have imagined what impact this would have on my further life.


Here the link to this story.

The Renault A1 was a special truck. 


Wednesday we will load for Breaza, this time mainly hospital beds. In Oudorp we can pick up a number of beds from Magnenta care on Monday.


Do not come to Dulleweg 20 in Broek op Langedijk without notice, we must remain careful.

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
