Weekly updat 11/24

We did not load a truck for Romania last week. The stock we had before was not diverse enough to put together a nice load.

In addition, packing the packages on March 21 and 22 requires the necessary preparation. On Wednesday, March 13, we made room for this in our storage at Dulleweg 20 in Broek op Langedijk. We temporarily have access to a storage space where things can be stored. The box supplier from Ermelo brought 5.500 empty boxes.

On Thursday, March 14, two trailers from Romania arrived to unload with the food we had ordered from Penny Market there. Penny Market is part of the German REWE group. Despite the extra transport costs, this is cheaper than ordering in the Netherlands. Together with the existing stock we can put together 5.200 beautiful packages.

We are counting on a good turnout of people who will come and help us with this enormous job. The predictions look good. Unlike previous times, a truck will load packages on Thursday, March 21 and Friday, March 22. Half of the planned production will then immediately be on its way to Romania. The catering team is ready again, it will probably be a few fun days again.

On Wednesday March 13, a trailer was unloaded at Cristi in Botosani that we had loaded in Broek op Langedijk. The trailer took a little longer to arrive, the train journey was delayed. Cristi is busy, there is a lot of extra work to do when it comes to the orphanage and boarding school. The Baptist church of which he is a member also asks more of him than before, he is regularly a pastor there. He has a lot coming his way.

I have often written about the after-school care in Getz, this has become a wonderful project over the years.

Marin and Hennie from Band continue with their work, cooking meals. Build another house and renovate it again. The demand for temporary workers from abroad will soon explode again. Many people from these types of villages are recruited by employment agencies and embark on an adventure. Things don't always go well of course, there are many abuses.

Gerard-Jan and Miranda arrange the packing by the women's club and a children's club on Tuesday, March 19 in the afternoon. There are enough people on Wednesday March 20 to check the last things. It will happen on Thursday March 21 and Friday March 22

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
