Weekly update 13/24

We took it easy for a while. On Wednesday, March 27, some items were returned from temporary storage to the Dulleweg. Further “shop daughters” removed from the rack, cardboard to G.P. Brought up, this kind of thing. In Hazerswoude-Dorp we were able to pick up a nice batch of chocolates. There was another collection job in Amsterdam on Thursday.

On Monday morning, March 25, the first trailer with the packages arrived in Breaza. This all went well. Csaba immediately started further distribution, the recipients were very happy with it.

The second truck arrived in Marghita on Thursday. Attila also immediately worked on further distribution. The people from the gypsy community in Getz received a package. Inci and Domien from Salard also came to collect their share.

Here is the link to photos.


The next two trailers will probably arrive on Thursday, April 4, in Broek op Langedijk to load the last 2.600 packages. These are then sent to people's homes for the Orthodox Easter celebration. The Eastern Orthodox Churches - also called the Orthodox Church or Byzantine Church - celebrate Easter in 2024 on Sunday, May 5. In Romania these are national holidays.

Jan Pilkes, the chairman of St. Caritas from de Rijp, sent photos of the distribution campaign in Ukraine. Jan is doing everything within his power to bring as much relief supplies into Ukraine as possible. It is unlikely that this war will end any time soon. Western support falls short of what is needed to stop this bloodshed.

Henk Muller is back in Romania. He is busy with the garden projects. Next week, seed potatoes from Marghita will also become available. Breaza still has a large supply of vegetable seeds, so it should be possible to create beautiful and meaningful gardens.

Fortunately, there are more and more initiatives to start a garden. It is important to be at least somewhat self-sufficient in this way. It is hoped that many more people will come to this insight.

Marin and Hennie from Band have made a meal twice again, it seems like you're starting to get used to it. Nice work by these people.

Viorel and Elena from Deaj have had another busy week, baking bread, cooking food, handing it out, it's no small feat. The work in the greenhouse is also in full swing, all impressive.

We will do normal work on Wednesday April 3. I will know on Tuesday April 2 whether the trucks will indeed load the packages on April 4.

The Emeth Foundation has published a newsletter about Reghina's work in Ticau.

Here is the link to this message.


The weather in Romania is enviably beautiful.



 


 


Happy Easter.

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
