Weekly update 35/21

On Tuesday 17 August, a group of volunteers transferred school furniture, which had been stored in a container in Heerhugowaard, to our storage in Broek op Langedijk.

On Wednesday, August 18, a large group of volunteers loaded a Romanian trailer, this time destined for Botosani. A few other teams have done pick-up jobs. It all went smoothly and without any problems, yet there were some gloomy faces at the end of the day.

A few months ago the storage was still completely full, now it is completely different, the level of our stock is (too) low. What is especially lacking is food, when I return from our walking holiday (September 4) I will get to work trying to change this. If anyone reads this and thinks there may be something I can do about it, please pass it on. For the poor slobs we care about, all help is welcome.

Here the link to pictures of the loading

Cristi is happy with his cargo, they will probably unload on Monday. He sent a lot of photos of handouts.

Reghina has also worked hard again, she immediately started handing out the new stock. They were also very happy with the potatoes from the farm in Marghita, it is a very useful and nutritious product for the people there.

Toth Attila from Peris / Reghin was able to have a house built for a few poor

unlucky ones. Nice to see that he cares about the fate of these people and knows how to realize a solution.

Imola from Breaza has written a blog piece about the activities there, Breaza is and will remain an important hub of aid campaigns.

So next week no trailer can be loaded, but there are a number of pick-up actions I'll send a message about that via the whatsapp group.

I am writing this message in Bernried on Lake Starnberg in southern Germany, the starting point of our 6-day hiking tour. The rain is pattering on the windows and tomorrow they expect a lot of rain here. We hope it's not too bad, the 26 kilometers long journey seems to be very beautiful (if it doesn't rain).

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
