Weekly update 26/24 Engels

We did not load a truck last week, our stock was not varied enough to put together a meaningful load. Fortunately, this has changed since last Wednesday so that we can charge again next Wednesday.

In Romania it is uncomfortably warm, not dry heat but with a lot of moisture in the air. Above thirty degrees is simply not pleasant to function properly. There are also regular showers.

The combines are running again on the farm in Romania, the rapeseed harvest has started, and I expect the wheat will not be in the field for much longer. Unfortunately, the rain that falls regularly makes the harvest difficult.

In the nearby village of Getz, the end of the school year is celebrated. Then especially that of after-school care and everything that "hangs" around it. Nice to see this development over the years.

The last truck we loaded was delayed due to disruptions in train traffic. He'll be in Breaza next week. It was busy there, Imola sent photos of the distribution of the goods. Csaba from Breaza picked up a batch of potatoes and vegetables from the farm in Marghita last Friday.

Marin from Band asked Maarten at the beginning of the week, can I build a house for a single man who lost his house in a flood three years ago? He has lived in a kind of hole in the mountain ever since. We were able to provide this, construction started immediately near the cemetery fence. The man is very happy and is immediately promoted to a kind of caretaker of the cemetery.

Marin used a borrowed bus to pick up some of the potatoes and vegetables from Breaza on Saturday, along with some cookies. He immediately started making 120 packages of this for the poorest people in Band. When I asked on the phone whether people could use this, his answer was a resounding yes, I think he even thought it was a bit of a silly question. He is very happy that we are helping him to make some progress in Band.

Henk Muller also reports on all the goods that end up in Breaza and sends
enthusiastic messages about the distribution in all kinds of neighborhoods where poverty-stricken people live.

Reghina from Ticau also received vegetables and potatoes from Marghita and was able to make many people happy.

Children's camps are also in full swing again, Ronald Wolthuis sent a video of it.

Here is the link to this nice video

Viorel and Elena from Deaj have also done a lot, they are also happy with what they get from the depot of Csaba and Imola from Breaza.

Here is the link to photos.

Joszi from Tirgu Mures also had a busy week and did a lot, even a summer camp.

Here is the link to photos.









So on Wednesday we will load another truck for Breaza. There are a number of collection jobs

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

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

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
