Weekly update 1/23

Monday 2 January there was an opportunity in the Allemanskerk to say goodbye to Nin de Vries for the last time. It was done in a loving and dignified way, we will miss him but not forget him.

Tuesday 3 January there was a big collection job of beautiful, usable products. On Wednesday, January 4, a truck was supposed to load, but due to a setback, the driver did not arrive until the beginning of the evening. There were plenty of other useful jobs for us to do.

With a small group we loaded the truck in just under two hours on Thursday. It was a brand new trailer loading for the first time. It was also special that the trailer went on the train in Köln and then goes from Arad to Botosani with another tractor in front of it. It has become a very nice cargo, much of the cargo will eventually go to Ukraine.

Here is the link to pictures of the loading.

On Friday there was another collection job in the middle of the country, so we didn't sit still.

Via Cristi I received photos of the distribution in the soup kitchen in Chernivtsi, good to see that this continues every day. Igor has also forwarded food items to the front line. In the last two cutscenes you can hear bombs falling and they drive between tanks 6 kilometers from the front. A Christmas dinner in a trench how bad do you want it.

Reghina from Ticau was able to make many people happy with food again, with the help of the Emeth foundation. Reghina also sent a thank you letter.
