Weekly update 11/23

Wednesday, March 15, we loaded the first trailer with 1,329 Easter packages along with other useful items. It went smoothly and the truck was nice and not over loaded. In the meantime, this truck has not encountered any problems at the border in Romania and they will unload in Breaza on Monday. There were still collection jobs and the trailers that had been used temporarily as storage have also been unloaded. Seed from bulk packaging is repacked in small bags. Jan Pilkes from St. Caritas takes half to Ukraine, the other half went to Breaza. I'll be curious to see what can be harvested in the end.

Here is the link to photos.

Thursday we were able to pick up a batch of food in Amsterdam. All together great result.

Attila from the farm in Marghita was able to send a trailer full of potatoes and vegetables to Cristi in Botosani. It was unloaded there on Saturday, most of it will go to Ukraine in a very short period of time.

Reghina from Ticau started cooking for people around her, the people were happy and grateful again.

Elena and Viorel from Deaj have also been very busy helping the poor

people in their environment. The accompanying photos speak for themselves.

If everything goes according to plan, three trucks will load next Wednesday, if this works out, all Easter packages will be in Romania in a very short time. There are still some pick-up jobs, so we don't have to get bored.

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...
