Foundation Promotie / Aid Transports to Romania

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.

This time due to lack of time of the writer no extensive weekly report. On Wednesday, February 14, we were able to load another very nice batch of relief goods, with destination Ticau and Botosani. Thanks to the volunteers and sponsors who make this possible. Unloading will start on Monday 20 February, so more about that next week. For the rest, it was a relatively quiet week in Broek op Langedijk. Here is the link to pictures of the loading. Reghina from Ticau has started handing out hot food again, below are the photos of this. Here is the link to photos.

Every week there are things that are worth sharing, also this week. On Monday, Jan Kuyer is sorting the medical items, sometimes with someone else's help. Keeping the canteen and toilet group clean is also necessary, Hesva Booden does this on Mondays these days. Without a fuss, this happens every week. Tuesday there was a collection job in Nijkerk and Amsterdam, Piet and Gerrit thought this was a nice job. In Nijkerk a batch of new clothing was ready for us, a surplus from the clothing industry. It's nice that we can distribute this in a poor country like Romania. On Tuesday afternoon, February 7, the truck was already at our door that we would load on Wednesday. Loading on Wednesday went smoothly, another nice usable load including three pallets of special cakes from our neighbor Hekos. Lots of tasty things and foodstuffs, but also ten beautiful hospital beds, for example. The truck left shortly after noon for Breaza. We informed the driver about the extra checks of aid transp

We have had a special week, with the usual but also unusual events. It all started on Wednesday, February 1 with a visit from Ralph van Soomeren director of Rabobank NH Noord and Gerrit Beetsma account manager at the bank. Together they handed us a check for an amount of no less than € 17.500,-. To be spent for our actions for the people in Ukraine, such as, for example, the soup kitchen project in Chernivtsi, which is often mentioned in this blog. Ralph expressed his admiration and respect for our work. For us it was a great opportunity to give him a little more insight into the work that the foundation has been doing for about thirty years. Perhaps we can work together more often in the future. We discussed, among other things, PLMA in the RAI where we can collect an enormous amount of food on Wednesday, May 24, 2023. As experience experts now know, this requires many people who know how to get things done. After that we immediately started loading a truck with destination Breaza. We
