Foundation Promotie / Aid Transports to Romania

And again a week full of events is behind us. Tuesday we immediately had a pick-up job in Alkmaar that we were busy with. It was unclear if a trailer would come to load Wednesday. However, Tuesday afternoon he was already at the door. Wednesday we were able to load this truck with destination Marghita and Floresti. Loading went smoothly, the two pick-up teams also arrived on time. Here is the link to photos. Friday was unloaded in Marghita, the packages for Getz and Salard are unloaded. Attila sent a few pictures of it. After that he went to Marien Kroon in Floresti to unload. Here are the few pictures of Attila. Here the link to photo's from Marien On Thursday truck number two came to load, we started this job at 1:00 PM with a small group. It all went smoothly and without any problems, we loaded the packages for Pieter Nagel from Minis, the same for Reghina from Ticau and those for Cristi in Botosani. Loading photos Meanwhile, someone from our network called if we wanted to help ...

We were able to pick up stuff before loading on Wednesday 16 November, there were four pick-up teams active with larger and smaller jobs. The loading of the first truck with Christmas packages started after lunch. Everything went well, it turned out to be a very nice load with 1.160 packages and some other stuff. The truck will arrive in Breaza on Monday 21 November. Here is the link to pictures of the loading. Cristi many photos of the delivery and distribution of the potatoes and vegetables from the farm in Marghita (see the previous weekly report). There are also photos of a house burned in a village near Botosani. There lived a family with five children. The situation in Ukraine is imaginably difficult for millions of people. The unscrupulous from Moscow leaves important energy infrastructure millions of people stuck in the dark and the cold. We try to try as much food and clothing as possible through Cristi's depot in Ukraine. Attila from the farm in Marghita and Cristi go out...

We can safely say that we have had a very busy week full of special events. Tuesday 8 November we started cleaning up and preparing stuff for the truck that we would unload and load that day, expected arrival time 11 am. Furthermore, preparing and setting up the goods and setting up the roller conveyor for packing the packages. Unfortunately, the truck didn't arrive until 3:30 pm, we immediately started unloading the stuff for the Christmas packages. Beautiful products well fitting in a package. We then started loading with a small team, quite a big job and we had to work overtime to get it ready. At 7 pm the trailer was full and the pizza sprint came, the driver also ate a pizza and at 7:30 pm he started the journey to Marghita. Here the link to the pictures of the loading and unloading. Wednesday we still had half a day of work. Counting the products, putting everything in its place and determining the order. We were concerned that the last 1.000 of the packs would not fill up co...

The past week was dominated by the preparations to make the 4,500 Christmas packages on November 10 and 11. A large part of the food that goes in the packages comes from Romania, the price difference with the Netherlands made this attractive. The second half of this purchase is now on its way to Broek op Langedijk and will arrive just in time. So outside the normal routine and that gives some extra tension about how this turns out. Together with the current stock it will be a nice package. The boxes must be full, so if it looks like there is still a hole left. There may be some extras coming in, we'll have to wait and see. Here is the link to photos. Cristi from Botosani sent a whole series of photos of the distribution of the relief goods we brought in Ukraine and Romania. Here is the link to photos.     Next Thursday and Friday we will make the packages. The catering is already busy preparing. Coffee, tea, biscuits, sandwiches, soup, various drinks, everything is a...
