Weekly update 31/32

On Wednesday, August 3, a truck with a trailer was loaded with destination Botosani. We were able to gather some food from a number of sources and thus make a nice mix of usable relief goods.

Here is the link to photos.

It is currently very warm in a large part of Romania, with temperatures above 40 °C. Fortunately, next week the temperature will drop to normal summer values.

Cristi sent a message that the truck will be unloaded on Monday morning. He is in Romania.

Here is the link to a message from Cristi.



Viorel and Elena from Deja sent their weekly message again. Because of this weekly message, the ins and outs in such a gypsy community are starting to get used to, it seems. Yet it also remains unreal that so many people and young children live like this.

Here is the link to photos with an explanation






Henk Muller is still not on his strength and unfortunately cannot do what he wants. Fortunately, the people around him take good care of him. Marin the local pastor and jack of all trades now does most of the work. The accompanying photos with explanation speak for themselves.

Another request came to help with the financing of a house, luckily we were able to say yes to this thanks to our sponsors. Marin immediately started construction.

Pictures came from Breaza of goods being collected and distributed by their contacts there.

Next Wednesday we will not load. I myself went to Romania for a few days to visit a few projects. First to the farm in Marghita and then from Breaza to a number of people that this blog often talks about.

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
