Foundation Promotie / Aid Transports to Romania

On Tuesday, April 16, we had the first meeting with Hannie and Hessel from Zending over Grenzen in Almere, this was about the PLMA fair in the RAI. Just like last year, we can collect the leftover food together with them after the end of this fair. It was a fruitful meeting, which means we are well prepared to make this a well-organized event. Rob has already sent an email asking you to register. We are also busy lobbying to get as many people involved as possible. This blog often talks about poor people who have nothing to eat. Now that we have again been given the opportunity to collect so much food for free, we must not give up. Sign up and participate, it is a great event and the only thing that can happen is that you will suffer from a little muscle pain. It will happen on Wednesday afternoon, May 29, 2024. You can register via info@stichtingpromotie.nl . You can also call me, Maarten Koel 0031628941795 . Here is the link to last year's report . Here is the link to a video abo...

The distribution of the packages is already going well and more and more photos are coming in. People are very happy with it again. On Wednesday April 10 we loaded a trailer with destination Breaza. We were able to put together a nice mixed and valuable load of food, cookies, clothing, furniture and medical items. Food is especially important, not everyone can just walk to the store to do some shopping. The truck was on time and loading was not smooth, again there were enough people to help. The collection jobs also went smoothly, only Haye and Clement took longer on the road. The trailer goes on a train in Germany and goes to Arad. From there this trailer goes to Breaza with another tractor in front of it. The arrival date is not yet known. Here is the link to photos. On Friday, April 5, we loaded two trucks. The first came unloading on Monday April 8 at the farm in Marghita. A few pallets of potatoes could be loaded there for Reghina from Ticau, the second unloading address of this t...

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...
