Weekly update 22/21

The truck that was loaded on Thursday 20 May in Broek op Langedijk was unloaded on Monday 24 May in Breaza. It all went well again, the beds have gone to a care institution. The packages for Phoneo were also picked up immediately.

Here the link to photos.

Wednesday 26 May was a busy day, except for loading a truck (the 23rd in 2021) with destination Botosani, there were many pick-up jobs. Thanks to the efforts of our volunteers and the cooperation of Van den Heerik Transport, it all went well. On Saturday May 29, the truck arrived in Botosani without any problems and was unloaded there.

In Botosani, the construction of the Casa Ioana extension is progressing one step further. The distribution of aid supplies also continues. Last time I wrote about buying a cow for a gypsy family. Their cow had died unexpectedly and Cristi overheard this by accident. A cow has been bought, it seems to me a very good choice, a cross between a Jersey and a Romanian breed. Another special action by Cristi who also shows how he stands in life and looks after his fellow man.

Reghina from Ticau also sent messages about her distribution campaigns.

Henk Muller also sent pictures from Deja. Henk is in the Netherlands and regularly brings goods to Broek op Langedijk.

Next Wednesday we will load for Marghita and Ticau.

The worst seems to be over in Europe with the Covid-19 virus, in Romania it is now code yellow instead of orange like with us. So traveling is a little easier again.

Romania is a very beautiful country to visit. An example of this was broadcast on NPO 3. For those who missed it click on the link below.

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...

Another great week behind us with a lot of work done. On Wednesday, April 3, there were collection and clean-up jobs and stock from our temporary storage was brought back to the Dulleweg. On Thursday, April 4, there was a clothing campaign in a store in Heerhugowaard. And on Friday April 6, two trucks came to load. As a result, all the last 2.600 Easter packages are now on their way to Romania. A few photos of the loading. Csaba from Breaza has been busy delivering the first shipment of packages. The Phoneo Foundation from Reghin allows him to use a very handy van for this purpose. Many packages have already been delivered to people's homes. The rumors are spreading fast and he has already received questions: when are you coming to us? The poorest people are hungry, difficult for us to imagine, but in some communities, especially Gypsy communities, this is simply a fact. Here is the link to photos of Csaba and Imola. Józsi and his team from the soup kitchen for children in Tirgu Mu...

Yesterday Nico and I returned home safely from a useful and interesting trip to Romania. The main goal was to discuss the progress and the start of the season on the farm in Marghita with Attila. We were lucky with the weather, it was really spring, and the sowing and planting was in full swing. A beautiful period when you see what happens until the harvest period. I have often written that farmers in Romania are having a hard time due to... the low prices they receive for their products. Unfortunately, quite a few are now in danger of going under. Attila buys a large part of his planting material from a company in Hungary. A modern and large company that grows seeds into small plants under optimal conditions. During the tour we received, I asked, among other things, how future-proof this activity is. The answer was simple – as long as people continue to eat, this will continue. Enough ideas were discussed, the future will show what will become reality. Here is the link to photos. More...
