Weekly update 38/21

As so often the week flew by, Monday there were clean up jobs and we could make preparations for loading the trailer the next day. The car that we were able to purchase for
Reghina from Ticau was brought by Abe. A great car, Sven Wittebrood has checked all technical matters. He came straight from work and still had to be cleaned, this also worked, great car.






Early Tuesday morning 17 September we started loading two motorcycles. A small group is going to make a nice trip through the south of Romania and a part of Bulgaria, I myself belong to this group. The loading of the relief supplies went smoothly and we were also able to load the car for Reghina well and safely. A bit of a special load, but a very nice one.

Here the link to pictures of the loading

In the meantime, many messages came from Romania with thanks regarding. delivering the frozen food. It has become a huge success and we have been able to make a lot of people happy with it. The people who made this special transport possible want to remain anonymous and have asked us, for example, not to distribute photos of it, something we of course respect.

From Cristi we also received photos of distribution actions of the goods he has received for poor people also from Romanian companies.

Here is the link to photos.

Reghina is still dependent on others for transportation so she could do a little less than usual. Her new car arrived at the farm on Thursday, before she can use it, the paperwork has to be arranged. For this, a document must first be sent to her from the Netherlands. The commissioning will therefore take a while, we hope that she will be able to drive in the course of next week.

Henk Muller is back in Romania, his bus is still in the Netherlands, unfortunately the fuel pump has failed. He made the trip without any problems with a VW golf that he could buy for a small amount. If everything goes according to plan we will visit him in Deaj during our motorcycle ride.

They have been busy handing out the goods in and Marghita, but the after-school care has also
started again. Something we are very happy with, homework support and a meal is extremely important for the children.

Toth Attila has a lot of activities and also an after school care, great of course. Next Monday we will meet him personally, we are going to do a fun activity together.

Here is the link to photos.

The motorcycles, the relief supplies and some vegetables and potatoes from the farm arrived in Breaza on Friday morning.

In the meantime, we are offered quite a few things and those left behind have to roll up their sleeves in the coming week. Miranda, Siem and Nico coordinate these activities.

No new weekly report next week, I will leave my Macbook at home this time, I will concentrate on motorcycling.

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
