Weekly update 49/21

The distribution of the packages in Romania is now well underway, a lot of grateful work for our contacts there. Not all reports are in but the distribution is in full swing everywhere. It is now really cold in Romania with snow, wet and mud, much different from summer time.

Wednesday December 8 we were able to load two trailers. The first truck is loaded for Pieter Nagel from Minis. The Nagel family has made a sort of restart and has entered the next phase of relief support with new impetus. Friday afternoon, December 10 at 2 pm, the unloading has already taken place in the village of Minis, not far from Arad. It took some getting used to for Pieter to unload and sort such a fully loaded trailer.

Here the link to pictures of the loading and unloading for Pieter Nagel.


The second trailer was loaded for Botosani and unloaded around noon on Saturday 11 December. Cristi tirelessly continues his work. In January, a friend comes to help with installing the electricity in the new building.

Here the link to pictures of the loading and unloading for Cristi from Botosani.

I also received the necessary photos from Reghina from Ticau that give a good impression of how things are going there.

Here the link to pictures of Reghina.

Imola from Breaza has updated her blog with pictures of how the distribution is going. Imola also describes the problems she encounters in people's homes. Just like everywhere else, there is a social service of the municipality in Breaza, but the service of Csaba and Imola for the people in the village works a lot better.

Here is the link to a nice message from Breaza.

Animal feed manufacturer Yarra from Harderwijk regularly provides feed for Mrs. Lydia's kennel near Reghin.

Toth Attila from Reghin/Peris also sent messages and photos again.

Here is the link to photos.

They have also been handing out in other places, it is a nice but time-consuming job. Reports and photos to follow.

Next Wednesday we will load a trailer that will go to Breaza. There are pick up jobs again.

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...
