Weekly update 36/22

In the previous post I wrote about the motorcycle trip we were going to make to the Dolomites. Jan Valk had again organized a wonderful ride for it, all participants enjoyed it. Our guests from Romania loved it. I was back home on Sunday evening.

I have attached some photos for those who are interested. The movie is fun, with the super sports cars driving behind me. I was able to stay ahead of them for a while, Imola made the film in the meantime.

Here the link to the video and the pictures

As a result, updating the blog was delayed.

On Monday September 5, the trailer with potatoes and vegetables arrived in Botosani. This lot was grown on the farm in Marghita and the sponsor is an American organization. Cristi sent a whole series of photos of the unloading in Botosani and the delivery in the Ukraine. It goes without saying that the people there can use help and it is great that we can contribute to that.

Here the link to pictures of the arrival of the potatoes and vegetables.

Here is the link to the other photos.

On Wednesday there were all kinds of pick-up jobs in Broek op Langedijk, I think it went well and we have quite a bit of stock again. It is a pity that the portion of foodstuffs is limited.

Henk Muller from Band sent some pictures of his activities, a pity that his health still leaves much to be desired.

Here is the link to photos.


Viorel from Deaj also sent his photos and message again.

Here is the link to photos.



Paul from Getz has started the bread baking project again and would like to receive some relief goods. The depot in Marghita is almost empty. This week a truck will load in Broek op Langedijk and they will receive new stock. The day on which we can load the cargo is not yet entirely clear.

Here is the link to the photos.

Attila from Peris sent pictures of the building of a new greenhouse. Then a baptismal
service.

Here is the link to photos.

There are pick up jobs on Wednesdays.

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...
