Weekly update 32/24 Engels

The trailer that we loaded on Wednesday 31 July in Broek op Langedijk was
unloaded on Tuesday 6 August in Marghita. Sometimes the transport by train takes a bit longer, but this time it went smoothly. The goods will soon find their way to the people we care about.

Here is the link to a few photos.




Rob and I were on the road that day to replenish our stock, this went well.

On Wednesday 7 August we loaded a trailer that is going to Breaza, the unloading will probably take place on Monday 12 August. Because the stock was well maintained, the loading also went smoothly and another trailer with beautiful valuable items went to Romania.

On Thursday we were able to pick up another nice batch so that our stock is still well maintained with the right items.

Just like here, many people in Romania are currently on holiday. The number of messages and photos that I have received is therefore also less than normal.

Reghina from Ticau has received goods from the last transport, supplemented with potatoes and vegetables from the farm. She immediately started distributing, there are enough poor people there.

Here is the link to photos.

Marin and Eniko from Band have cooked for children and the elderly again. 
A poor family with a sick father also had to deal with flooding from a source in their rickety house. Thanks to our sponsors we were able to help renovate this house.

I received a message from Gerrit van der Starre from the NOS. It gives an impression of the life of Roma in Europe. There should be more attention for it.

Here is the link to this article.

Joszi from Tirgu Mures sent a report about the activities for the children from a slum in Tirgu Mures. Simply good work and great that we can support this project. We received photos and a brief explanation of the work that was done in the past week.

Here the link to this report

Here is the link to the photos.


Viorel and Elena from Deaj also sent a message about what they did for the people in their area and especially from Haranglab. It is very important to help these people there, it is good that Viorel and Elena are doing this, I have a lot of respect for them.


Here is the link to the photos.





Next Wednesday Jorg Bredderman will come to load for the next transport to Ukraine.

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...

Yesterday Nico and I returned home safely from a useful and interesting trip to Romania. The main goal was to discuss the progress and the start of the season on the farm in Marghita with Attila. We were lucky with the weather, it was really spring, and the sowing and planting was in full swing. A beautiful period when you see what happens until the harvest period. I have often written that farmers in Romania are having a hard time due to... the low prices they receive for their products. Unfortunately, quite a few are now in danger of going under. Attila buys a large part of his planting material from a company in Hungary. A modern and large company that grows seeds into small plants under optimal conditions. During the tour we received, I asked, among other things, how future-proof this activity is. The answer was simple – as long as people continue to eat, this will continue. Enough ideas were discussed, the future will show what will become reality. Here is the link to photos. More...
