Weekly update 16/23

On Monday, April 17, we were able to pick up a nice batch of clothing at HRIF in Weesp. A good start to the week. It was a great opportunity for a good conversation with the Veenstra family. It is truly unbelievable what these people achieve together.

Here is the link to their latest newsletter.

Wednesday, April 19, we were able to load a trailer with destination Breaza. It has become a nice varied load. At 13:00 the driver was able to start driving, on Friday he crossed the Hungary/Romania border without any problems and on Saturday morning unloading took place in Breaza. There were still a few pick-up jobs. There were fewer volunteers than we are used to, but everything went well.

Here is the link to pictures of the loading.

Thursday, April 20, there was a pick-up job in the middle of the country, Siem was able to arrange this and Nico helped unload.

In Amsterdam we were able to pick up half a trailer of goods on Friday. All in all, a busy week resulting in a trailer of relief goods being shipped and a full warehouse with a nice and varied stock of relief goods.

Joszi from the children's soup kitchen in Tirgu Mures has sent a series of photos. It is unbelievable how these people live on the outskirts of a city. Joszi and his team are doing a good job and we are happy that we in turn support this in various ways.

The truck was unloaded in Breaza on Saturday morning, it is not difficult to find a good destination for this within the network of Csaba and Imola.

Here is the link to photos.

The wheat has been sold on the farm in Marghita and its transport has begun, a trading house has bought it and it goes to Egypt via the port of Constanta. The problem of far too low prices can have major consequences for many farmers in Romania. At least the weather is nice now and everything is starting to grow and bloom, the farm looks beautiful, said Attila. Spring work is in full swing.

Reghina from Ticcau started cooking for children and sent pictures of it.

Cristi from Botosani has sponsors from America visiting, together with them he visited Igor in Ukraine. Failed to take goods across the border due to strict controls. It has been an impressive journey that once again underlines the importance of our help.

Here is the link to photos with explanation.

Henk Muller from Band is busy as always, building is going well. Nice to see these activities.

Here is the link to photos.

No news from Elena and Viorel this week, Viorel is recovering from the flu.

Miranda and Gerard-Jan Schuur make a tour in Romania, in the photo album below an impression of their experiences there.

Next Wednesday two trucks will load, one will go to the farm in Marghita and the other will go to Botosani after first unloading a part in Ticau near Reghina.

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. Here is the link to photos. Like every week, Henk Muller is busy offering help to his fellow man. Handing out goods, leading a youth club, building houses and surroundings. improve, you have to have a lot of energy to keep this up. H

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

On Wednesday we were able to load another truck with relief supplies. This time for Marghita and Ticau. We had quite a bit of stock so that we could put together a nice shipment again. We were extra careful with loading so that we would not have any problems at the border. This extra work has been useful, this truck crossed the border between Hungary and Romania without any problems on Friday. Besides loading the truck, there was plenty to do on Wednesday, for example we received a batch of lentils in large packaging. This can be done in small plastic pots that we have had in stock for some time. Also picking up stuff and cleaning up, another day well spent. Here is the link to photos. At the end of the afternoon on Friday, most of this cargo was unloaded in Marghita and potatoes and vegetables were loaded there for Ticau. There is a very good harvest on the farm, mainly due to Attila's craftsmanship and the efforts of his team. Sales are difficult due to the greatly reduced purcha
