Weekly update 22/23

Monday was a party in Botosani. The truck with PLMA goods has been unloaded. The unloading team went from one surprise to another when they saw the products.


Cristi was able to save quite a bit for the kitchen of Casa Ioana. The operation of the children's home is expensive, almost all of them are teenagers who live there and they like something. The same afternoon Igor and a few other people came with vans from Ukraine, they were able to take about half of the load. The rest went to people in Romania who need support. To reach these people, Cristi has a network with pastors in particular who can organize this well and quickly.

Here is the unloading link


Below are the photos taken by Igor, mostly of people at the soup kitchen in Chernivtsi.

On Wednesday there were a lot of clean-up jobs, we couldn't load a trailer. A refrigerated trailer came to load on Friday. All goods that need refrigeration are now gone. The truck will be unloaded in Breaza on Monday. Fortunately there was help enough to arrange this again, thanks for this.

Henk Muller sent some photos from Band. In the clinic they are investigating which medicines help best. The results are variable.

Reghina from Ticau has been handing out again and sending pictures of it.

Ilja van Phoneo from Reghin sent a video of their school project. Nice to see this going so well.

Here the link to the video.

Elena and Viorel from Deaj visited a TV station from Bucharest to make a report about their work. It would be nice if it inspires others to look after each other.

Wednesday we have pick-up jobs and there is still some things to clean up. A Romanian truck comes to load with destination Botosani. A second truck will arrive on Thursday and it will go to Marghita and then to Reghina in Ticau.

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...
