Weekly update 9/26 Engels

Preparations for the packing days next Thursday and Friday are going smoothly. Of course, not everything always goes as planned, but with a little improvisation and everyone's commitment, everything will turn out fine. Extra packers are welcome – every helping hand makes the work a lot easier and more fun!

Monday, March 2 – Marghita Farm

At the Marghita farm, a trailer has been loaded with baking flour, sourced from an exchange of the wheat grown on the farm for baking flour. It's a good deal with a mill in Sărmășag, which is beneficial for both parties.

However, the transport is going a little differently than planned. Instead of going by road to Broek op Langedijk, the trailer was sent by train to Cologne via Oradea. According to the new schedule, the trailer will arrive in Broek op Langedijk next Monday.

Tuesday, March 3 – Reghin

Csaba brought a nice load of dog food to the shelter near Reghin. It's wonderful to see how this aid, from various sources, reaches its destination.

Wednesday, March 4th – Broek op Langedijk

It was a busy day full of action and results:

Loading to Breaza

A trailer was filled with hospital beds, clothing, and biscuits. Loading took some extra time due to the varied load. Ultimately, everything was securely packed in the trailer.

Second truck

Crates were loaded, and the truck departed for Wieringerwerf to load potatoes for the farm in Marghita and our depot in Breaza. The transport went smoothly: unloaded in Marghita on Friday and in Breaza on Saturday.

Lidl in Heerhugowaard

The majority of the parcel order was collected.

Thanks to two trailers from Van den Heerik Transport, we were able to temporarily create additional storage, providing sufficient space for the packing operation. It was a challenging but successful day!

Breaza

Last week's trailer was unloaded, including pallets of cherry tomatoes, which were immediately distributed enthusiastically and were in great demand.

A large portion of the remaining order from Lidl was picked up. This way, everything is gradually coming together for the upcoming packing days.

Friday, March 6th

The box hall in Barneveld delivered 5,700 empty boxes, which should be filled by the end of next week – an exciting prospect for the volunteers and everyone who helps.

Joszi and his team in Târgu Mureș ensure that children receive clean clothes after showering, food, and after-school care. This is very important support for these children.
