Weekly reports 37 and 38 have not been written. For a moment I had the idea that I would do that during our motorcycle holiday, but this did not work out as the program was too full for this. If you want to ride a motorcycle safely, you must prepare well and especially concentrate on driving. We had a very nice holiday and a wonderful drive along  Romania and Moldova. For those who are interested, here is the link to the photo album with an explanation.

Not entirely according to plan, a truck showed up at our door on Wednesday and we loaded it for Botosani. We were able to turn it into a nice valuable cargo. We were able to buy a batch of canned goods for a reasonable price and a batch of pasta is also coming. We also received some leftovers and so we still had a nice stock. Unfortunately, surpluses from factories and wholesalers are not available to us much.


Here is the link to photos of the loading.



Colleagues from other organizations wrote to us about problems crossing the border with Romania. It seems like a lot of new rules have been invented. Fortunately, we have not had any problems with this lately. It probably also makes a difference that we use Romanian transporters.

The truck that we loaded on Wednesday was unloaded on Saturday in Botosani, Cristi was happy with it again, especially the jars of preserves can be put to good use there.

Joszi from Tirgu Mures from the soup kitchen for children sent a series of photos. He is happy with the new washing machine that we were able to arrange for him thanks to sponsors. His question was also, please think about help for the upcoming winter.

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.

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
