Foundation Promotie / Aid Transports to Romania

It was an honorable, but also a challenging invitation from the Zending over Grenzen Foundation, just like last year, to collect the remaining articles from the PLMA fair together. Wednesday 24 May came closer and closer and the tension was rising without enough volunteers it certainly wouldn't work. Applications came in slowly. In the end it all worked out, there were more than 125 people in total to help. The catering team did a lot of useful work, the people of the RAI cooperated well, as did those of their service provider CEVA. It is nice to see that we “emptied” the enormous building in a relatively short period of time. Loading the trucks took a while, but that also went well. The same evening the first three were released in Sint Pancras, so for a number of people it was really late. On Thursday 25 and Friday 26 May, the loyal helpers came to the sorting location at the Spanjaarsdam in Sint Pancras. Here, the refrigerated products and the products that do not require refrig

Wednesday 17 May there were quite a few collection jobs and after lunch we loaded a trailer with destination Breaza. It has become a nice varied load with a good amount of food. Despite the fact that quite a few "permanent" employees were absent, it went well again this time. It was the 21st truck in this year. Here is the link to photos. The truck we loaded on Wednesday was in Breaza for unloading at 8am on Saturday. Here is the link to photos.

From Getz I received a new photo series of the after-school care there. Here is the link to photos. In Band, a team from the Netherlands is building 4 houses from sandwich panels.

On Monday we were able to collect hospital beds at Oudburg in Bergen. We did this together with the Caritas Ukraïne-Holland foundation from de Rijp. After that we did a pick-up job in Amsterdam. Siem has loaded another trailer full of beautiful clothing in Weesp. On Wednesday there were more collection jobs and we were able to load a trailer with destination Breaza. This all went smoothly and neatly. The truck has been in Romania since Friday. On Friday he crossed the border with Romania, the unloading will take place on Monday in Breaza. Here is the link to photos. Henk Muller has been in full action again, in addition to building houses, he has also organized a clean-up campaign. Many things have improved in a relatively short time thanks to the efforts of Henk and Marin in Band. Good for the people that they receive this support.  Here is the link to photos. Mucuijozsef Jozsef of the soup kitchen from Tirgu Mures has made a quarterly report. It is not an easy job for Józsi and his t
