Weekly update 2/22

Wednesday 12 January we loaded the 2nd trailer in 2022, this time with destination Ticau and Botosani. The flow of goods from Romania to the Netherlands has not really started yet, it takes quite a bit of effort to find a truck with trailer for a ride to Romania. This truck arrived later than intended and had already loaded part of the trailer for another destination, leaving 10 m3 less space for our cargo, less costs but not efficient.

Loading went smoothly, at 14:00 driver Vlad left for Romania. Saturday morning January 15 was unloaded in Ticau and on Monday the rest will be unloaded in Botosani.

On Wednesday there were also various collection jobs, for example a trailer full of
building materials at BMN in Delft, there is again a lot of useful material in between.






Tuesday 11 January the truck, which we had loaded on 6 January, was unloaded in Breaza. The rest of the week Csaba has been busy taking these to the many sub-distribution points there. Among others to Deaj (Henk Muller and Viorel) and John Fracker from Viile Tecii. Next Monday a part will go to Urmenis and Tóth Attila from Peris will also pick up things.

Here is the link to photos of the unloading.

Imola's blog has two new posts that once again make clear the importance of our activities. Especially the description of the home situation and living conditions in people's homes makes it worth reading.

Henk Muller again sent photos and messages about his work in and around Deaj. Thanks to a sponsor we were able to transfer € 750, - to provide extra food aid. The photos speak for themselves again. That so many people with their children live like this is inhumane.

Reghina from Ticau was happy again with her new stock. Can she continue to support people who are having a hard time in her environment.

Four children who live in Casa Ioana have contracted corona, just like a number of relatives of Cristi and Aline.

Cristi also looks after the homeless in Botosani, he sent pictures of men who cannot go to shelters at night.

A friend of Cristi comes from the Galati area and has been given some stuff to hand out there. In the past we have regularly brought relief supplies to Galati and the surrounding area.

Friday we loaded a trailer full of duvets, sheets, etc. at a laundry in Bolsward. Normally this goes to St. HIRF from Weesp, but their storage was almost completely full.

Saturday Willem Twijnstra came with his fat Scania together with his mother to bring
things from a thrift shop in their hometown Menaldum. Willem will soon return to Canada and will work there for him for the second season as an ice road trucker. An adventurous existence, Willem was able to tell about it nicely.



In the coming week we will be busy, we will be collecting hospital beds at various locations in Amsterdam. It concerns a total of 61 beds, for Monday and Tuesday there are already enough people for this job. Wednesday we will load a trailer with, among other things, hospital beds, these will go to Botosani and from there partly to the Ukraine. We also have plenty of pick-up jobs.

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.

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
