Weekly update 50/25 Engels

Things went a little differently last week than originally planned. Additional goods arrived, which we needed to transport due to their expiration dates. Therefore, we loaded a trailer on Wednesday and Thursday.

Loading went smoothly on Wednesday, December 17th. The driver was quite preoccupied with the weight we were going to load. In Hungary, in particular, there are strict enforcement measures for overweight trucks and trailers, and the fines are hefty. It didn't cause any problems, and around noon the two drivers left for their trip to Breaza, 2,000 kilometers east.

Here's a link to a photo album.


Wednesday evening was our annual tradition: a dinner with the volunteers at China Garden a Chinese restaurant in Broek op Langedijk. We enjoyed a lavish and delicious meal there. It was a pleasant evening that everyone enjoyed.

The next morning, the last trailer of the year was scheduled to arrive at 8:30 am. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Around 10:30 a.m., after some necessary preparations, a trailer arrived. Loading went smoothly with a small team, and all the goods we couldn't store for long were on their way to Marghita.

On Thursday morning, December 18th, the trailer we had loaded the previous Wednesday was also unloaded in Breaza. This went smoothly.

On Friday morning, December 19th, the trailer we had loaded on Wednesday, December 17th, arrived in Breaza to be unloaded. With two drivers, they covered the 2,000 km distance in record time. Whether all the regulations regarding maximum driving times were adhered to is uncertain. Nevertheless, they were pleased with the results in Breaza; while distributing them is a lot of work, they appreciate it.

Ilja Witte from Phoneo in Reghin sent a message about distributing the packages and other items. They were happy to be able to do this; someone even gave Ilja a cake as a token of appreciation. That way, it stays a bit fun.

Henk Muller has had a variety of activities again, and the photo album below gives a good impression.

Marin and Eniko have had an eventful week. Marin's mother passed away suddenly on Friday night at the age of 83. The weekly activities were also more than usual due to the coming winter and the upcoming Christmas holidays.

Viorel and Elena from Deaj are working tirelessly to help those around them. It's not an easy task they've taken on.

Jorg Breddermann has completed another trip to Ukraine. As has been the case many times this year, after unloading his cargo from Germany in Ukraine, he picked up a second shipment of vegetables and potatoes in Marghita. This time, he was traveling with his wife.

Max Veenstra of HRiF in Weesp is also helping in Ukraine, including with donations to a soup kitchen in Berdychiv. Like Breaza in Romania, this is 2,000 kilometers away. It's good that there are people who care for each other in this horrific and now protracted war.

Reghina from Ticau has been busy distributing packages, preparing for the Christmas celebration, etc.

Jozi's photo report from Tirgu Mures arrived a little later. This time, it's mainly about distributing the Christmas packages we made. Many of the recipients live in extremely difficult circumstances.

Here's the link to this photo album.

We will not be sending any more shipments this year. We remain on standby for the collection of party supplies. We will continue our work in 2026.

The board of the Promotie Foundation wishes everyone a Merry Christmas.

Our New Year's reception will be held on Friday, January 9th. We will once again be using the fire station in Heerhugowaard.

M-am întors la muncă săptămâna trecută. De exemplu, a trebuit să recuperez apelurile telefonice, aplicațiile și e-mailurile. Am scris despre remorca încărcată pentru Jorg Breddermann data trecută. În plus, Jorg a trimis mai multe fotografii de la descărcare și distribuție, inclusiv în Odessa. Acesta a fost un ajutor foarte binevenit pentru oamenii care trăiesc în circumstanțe dificile acolo. Iată un link către câteva fotografii. Lunea trecută, 22 septembrie, remorca încărcată în Broek op Langedijk pe 17 septembrie a fost descărcată în Breaza. Clienții s-au așezat imediat la coadă; rețeaua de acolo funcționează bine. Ajungem cu ea la cei mai săraci și vulnerabili oameni. Iată un link către un album foto. Imola s-a concentrat mai mult pe îngrijirea persoanelor în vârstă, inclusiv pe aspectele sociale. La fel ca în Olanda, singurătatea este o amenințare reală pentru vârstnicii din România. De câteva ori pe săptămână, se desfășoară activități într-o anexă de pe proprietatea lor, care este ...

A short update on our blog this time, let's call it a summer edition. On Wednesday, July 9th, we were able to start loading a trailer right on time, going to two addresses: Margitha and Breaza. It turned out to be a nice, varied load, and our storage was starting to empty. However, this didn't last long; new stock arrived from three different locations. So we can continue sending relief shipments for a while longer. Here's the link to a photo album. On Friday, July 11th, the trailer we had loaded in Broek op Langedijk on July 2nd was unloaded in Breaza. Here's the link to photos of previous shipments. Csaba shared some new photos in an album about the bread program. Besides Viorel, several people are receiving flour made from wheat harvested on the farm in Margitha. In Breaza and Deda, local bakers are making bread from it, which is then distributed to people in need. It's a wonderful system that works well and is very useful. Here's the link to this photo album...

Lucrurile au mers puțin diferit față de planul de săptămâna trecută. Remorca pe care trebuia să o încărcăm miercuri nu a ajuns. Înainte de a merge la Broek op Langedijk pentru încărcare, a trebuit mai întâi să fie descărcată la Ikea din Amersfoort. Acolo au descoperit că exista o gaură în acoperiș, care a provocat daune provocate de apă încărcăturii. Manipularea a durat atât de mult încât încărcarea în Broek op Langedijk nu a mai fost posibilă. Acum a fost amânată pentru lunea viitoare, când vom încărca lotul deja gata cu o echipă mică. Marți, 27 mai, eu și Siem am putut ridica un alt lot din mijlocul țării, în principal dulciuri. Bun de folosit în taberele pentru copii. O treabă destul de bună, dar a fost plăcut că am putut conduce un DAF nou pentru o vreme. Miercuri, 28 mai, au fost lucrări de ridicare și curățenie, dar din păcate nu s-a încărcat camionul. Mitskevych Ruslan, care a venit să încarce pentru Pastorul Vasly miercuri, 21 mai, era deja gol în Chemerivtse marți, 27 mai. Pri...
