Weekly update 31/21

First a reminder about our annual BBQ that we will have on Saturday 14 August. We would like to invite all volunteers and sympathizers to this BBQ. Also emphatically those who, due to circumstances, were less able to commit themselves than before. The reception with a snack and a drink is from 4 pm.

This time we can again make use of the hospitality of Geeske and Jaap Ligthart, Nijverheidsweg 4 1751 HG Schagerbrug. in connection with Please indicate the catering by mail info@stichtingpromotie.nl or telephone 0628941795.

Jaap and Geeske will be moving soon, they will continue to live in Schagerbrug, but will leave the Nijverheidsweg after a long period.

On Wednesday 28 July we loaded a truck with destination Botosani, it went smoothly and without problems. The driver was in a hurry At the end of the validity of his corona test, he could start driving at 1 pm. Saturday morning at 7 o'clock the unloading took place in Botosani. In addition, there were quite a few collection jobs, for example building material at BNN in Delft. Lots of sportswear in Enkhuizen, clothes in Schagen and Egmond.

We were also able to help the Amsterdam food bank with a collection and storage job. As a driver, Haye has now made himself indispensable there, but without ever talking about a transfer fee .


Reghina sent many photos of the children's camps she organized looks good nice that this was made possible by her for these children. Gerrit van der Starre sent a newsletter with news.

Here the link to pictures of Reghina.

Toth Attila from Regin/Peris sent pictures of a failed cucumber harvest, the distribution of milk that ends up there via the network of Csaba and Imola from Breaza. Also from a children's camp organized by him. A special man this Toth Attila, and good that it is possible for us to support him with his work.

Here the link to pictures of Toth Attila.





Henk Muller again sent photos with messages from Deaj and the surrounding area. Nice to see
what Viorel and the other people involved there all do. During our visit we were already surprised about the quality of the tomatoes that they are now busy distributing and selling. Amazing that it works so well under these circumstances, he has it right in “his fingers”.

Here is the link to photos of Henk.





It is also holiday time in Romania and in addition it is (too) hot, during the day temperatures sometimes rise to 40 C.

We will not load next Wednesday, the extreme temperatures in Romania must first drop slightly.

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
